+# How to Release a New Version
+
+First, update the version numbers. (MASShortcut uses [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/), so please read the docs if you’re not sure what the deal is.) The version number is stored in `Framework/Info.plist` and `MASShortcut.podspec` (twice in both files).
+
+Then update the `CHANGES` file. Add information about the new version (see the previous versions for an example) and add the release date.
+
+Now commit the changes:
+
+    $ git commit -a -m "Version bump to x.y.z."
+
+And tag the last commit:
+
+    $ git tag -a x.y.z
+
+Now push both the commits and tags (`--tags`) to GitHub and push the new podspec to CocoaPods:
+
+    $ pod trunk push MASShortcut.podspec
+
+This will run sanity checks on the podspec and fail if the spec does not validate.
+
+That’s it. Go have a beer or a cup of tea to celebrate.
