Developing

So you want to write code in Umlaut gem itself.

First, note that you may not have to for localization. The most common thing you'd want to do is add a new Service Plugin. You can add a new service plugin solely in your local app, and reference it in your umlaut_services.yml. However, if it's possibly useful to someone else, it would be great if you contributed it back to Umlaut,

Releasing an Umlaut gem

Generally only done by project lead or what have you. Needs to have permissions set on rubygems for the umlaut gem.

We use the bundler-supplied rake tasks for releasing the gem. Update ./lib/umlaut/version.rb to desired version.

Then simply run: rake release

This will create a tag with version in umlaut git repo, as well as release the new version to rubygems.org.
