Following this morning's release, I've tried to update the release process to bring it even closer to how we release GOV.UK Frontend.
The steps were already following a very similar process. The main technical change is that instead of having the commit and tag generated by
npm version
, like it was in the current process, it is now handled manually (similarly to how the release scripts of GOV.UK Frontend commit the version change and create a tag).I've also updated the draft for the comms to match what we did in the latest release.
