This document lists the steps that lead to a successful release of the Nix
library.
# Before Release
Nix uses [cargo release](https://github.com/crate-ci/cargo-release) to automate
the release process. Based on changes since the last release, pick a new
version number following semver conventions. For nix, a change that drops
support for some Rust versions counts as a breaking change, and requires a
major bump.
The release is prepared as follows:
- Ask for a new libc version if, necessary. It usually is. Then update the
dependency in Cargo.toml accordingly.
- Confirm that everything's ready for a release by running
`cargo release <patch|minor|major>`
- Create the release with `cargo release -x <patch|minor|major>`
- Push the created tag to GitHub.
