The usage of CHANGELOG.md

Every CHANGELOG.md item should represent a release note of the version it describes:

# v0.2.0 //version tag
## The release title
// The release description in markdown

# v0.1.9
...

Example of package.json

Don't forget the repository.url. It will be parsed to extract the repository full name (myOrg/myRepo in this example).

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "respository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "git+https://github.com/myOrg/myRepo.git"
  },
  "files": ["dist"],
  "scripts": {
    "build": // build dist files
    "release": "npm publish && npm run release2hub",
    "release": "npm publish && npm run release2hub --branch=releases", // optional branch name
    "test": "release-check4hub && karma start"
  }
}

Example of CHANGELOG.md

### What the machine does
It can move, a bit slowly but still it moves.
