+# Releasing
+
+Releasing, i.e. crate publishing, has been automated via GitHub Actions.
+
+We use the [`cargo release`](https://github.com/sunng87/cargo-release)
+subcommand to ensure correct versioning. Install via:
+
+```
+$ cargo install cargo-release
+```
+
+**Before releasing** ensure `CHANGELOG.md` is updated appropriately.
+
+## Process
+
+Using `cargo-release` we can author a new minor release like so:
+
+```
+$ cargo release minor --skip-publish
+```
+
+**Ensure publishing is skipped** since pushing the resulting tag upstream will
+handle crate publishing automatically.
+
+This will create a new tag, `0.6.0` with the message,
+`(cargo-release) sqlparser version 0.6.0`.
+
+Once the tag is created, pushing the tag upstream will trigger a publishing
+process to crates.io. Now to push our example tag:
+
+```
+git push origin 0.6.0
+```
+
+(Note that this process is fully automated; credentials
+for authoring in this way are securely stored in the repo secrets as
+`CRATE_TOKEN`.)
