## Promoting a release on npm
New releases are published to npm with the `beta` tag. Every release should
eventually get promoted to stable unless there's a good reason not to.
Releases are normally given around two weeks in the wild before being promoted.
Before promoting a release, check to see if there are any bug reports
against that version, e.g. issues labeled with `version/1.7.x`.
It's also good to ask users in Slack if they're using the beta versions successfully.
To see what's beta and stable at any given time:
```
$ npm dist-tag ls electron
beta: 1.7.5
latest: 1.6.11
```
To promote a beta version to stable (aka `latest`):
```
npm dist-tag add electron@1.2.3 latest
```
