Release checklist

This checklist should be worked through when releasing a new Serverless version.

Pre-Release and testing

Look through all open issues and PRs (if any) of that milestone and close them / move them to another milestone if still open
Look through all closed issues and PRs of that milestone to see what has changed
Create a Serverless service (with some events), deploy and test it intensively
Look through the milestone and test all of the new major changes
Run "npm test"
Run "npm run integration-test"

Create a new branch to bump version in package.json
Bump version, send PR and merge PR with new version to be released
Go back to branch you want to release from (e.g. master or v1) and pull bumped version changes from Github
Make sure there are no local changes to your repository (or reset with git reset --hard HEAD)
Create a git tag with the version (git tag <VersionName>)
Push the git tag (git push origin <VersionName>)
Check package.json Version config to make sure it fits what we want to release. DO THIS, DON'T SKIP, DON'T BE LAZY!!!
Update Segment.io key (never push the key to GitHub and revert afterwards with git checkout .)
Log into npm (npm login)
Publish to NPM (npm publish —-tag <TagForInstall>, e.g. npm publish --tag beta or npm publish to release latest production framework)
Validate NPM install works (npm install -g serverless@<TagForInstall> or npm install -g serverless if latest is released)
Close milestone on Github
Create a new release in GitHub for Release Notes
