Automated Release Process #4

Automated Release Process

Automated Release Process #4

# The purpose of this workflow is to orchestrate Wasmtime's release process as
# much as possible. This specific workflow is responsible for a few timed parts
# of the process:
#
# * On the 5th of every month a new release branch is automatically created and
# the version number of the `main` branch is increased
# * On the 20th of every month the previous release branch is published.
#
# This automation is all done through PRs except for the creation of the release
# branch itself which is an write-action performed by this script. Otherwise
# humans are ideally reviewing and rubber-stamping the output of the script all
# other steps of the way.
#
# Note that this script also helps manage patch releases by sending a PR to the
# release branch with a bumped version number for all crates with a patch-bump.
