Unreleased

2.0.0 - 2020-10-17

Changed

Use workflow_dispatch instead of opening an issue as the initial trigger of the release. Not only is this more convenient to use, it also fixes a security vulnerability that may have allowed users without write access to execute arbitrary code within the context of the repositories GitHub action.
Merge master in dev after a release branch is merged. Previously, we used to merge the release branch back into dev. However, this caused some issues because the actual merge commit was not present in the dev branch. It also prevented use of the "automatically delete head branch" feature of GitHub which works well together with the "PR retargeting" feature.

1.4.0 - 2020-02-22

Added

A whitelist of which users can trigger the release workflow.

1.3.0 - 2020-02-22

Added

Automatically close the release issue after the release branch was merged.

1.2.0 - 2020-02-17

Changed

Don't request reviews from pull request author for merging release branch back into dev. The author of the PR is github-actions[bot], we can request a review from them.
Don't make a separate commit for updating the version of package.json

1.1.0 - 2020-02-17

GitHub action to backport releases to dev branch

Fixed

Merge commit is used to tag release instead of last commit on release branch

1.0.0 - 2020-02-15

Added
