RELEASE

Releasing a new version of Leaflet

• Ensure all https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/labels/blocker issues and pull requests are resolved.
• Update the changelog since last release and commit.
• Make sure all tests pass on CI before proceeding.
• Run npm version <patch | minor | major> (this will bump the version in package.json and create a new tag).
• Run git push --follow-tags to push the commit created by NPM to Github (together with the tag).
• Wait for the CI to complete and follow the logs to make sure it runs successfully.
• Verify that the release was correctly published to NPM by checking:
  • Leaflet NPM package page
  • files on Leaflet jsDelivr page
• Make a new release on Leaflet's GitHub release page with the most important parts of the changelog
• Download TGZ archive from https://registry.npmjs.org/leaflet/-/leaflet-X.X.X.tgz (where X.X.X is the new version number) and upload it as an "asset" of the GitHub release.
