A test run on my local fork created these artifacts:

• prepare-release [Run log]

  • Created PR to update package.json and CHANGELOG.md

• publish-release [Run log]

  • Ran npm publish (disabled on my fork via echo, but can see in run log)
  • Created tag v1.2.0
  • Created GitHub release Release 1.2.0
    • The release notes are automatically generated by GitHub's Release API and are based on pull requests, so that's why these release notes do not contain all the relevant PRs that are on this official nodejs repo.
    • To preview what the release notes would look like, you can use the GitHub interface to create a new release (but do NOT publish / save draft)

We discussed in the 17 May Node-API meeting that the manual running of publish-release is acceptable, and in the future, we can make it automated if we see that we continuously run it manually with no problems.

I'm moving this back to draft, as the custom release code could be replaced with https://github.com/googleapis/release-please-action similarly to nodejs/node-addon-api#1523.

The release process was verified at nodejs/node-addon-api#1526. We can move this forward as well!

Closing in favor of #43 , #44
