Releasing Guidelines

In order to release new version of the library, we need to perform the following operations:

create new release issue on GitHub
prepare release notes and put them to the issue
checkout to the master branch
bump library version (VERSION_NAME and VERSION_CODE) in gradle.properties file
commit and push the changes
run command: ./gradlew uploadArchives
go to the https://oss.sonatype.org website
log in to Sonatype
go to "Staging Repositories" and sort by last "Updated" date and time
close and release artifact
copy library/build/docs/javadoc directory
checkout to gh-pages branch
remove old JavaDoc and paste new, generated JavaDoc there
commit and push changes
wait for the Maven Sync (up to 48 hours)
when sync is done, checkout to the master branch
update CHANGELOG.md file with new release version, current date and release notes
bump library version in "Download" section in README.md file
create new tagged GitHub release with name the same as VERSION_NAME from gradle.properties and release notes
