Release steps

• Branch: Starting from trunk, cut a release branch named release/1.2.8
• Version bump: Bump the version number in woocommerce-accommodation-bookings.php, readme.txt, package.json and package-lock.json to 1.2.8. In woocommerce-accommodation-bookings.php update both the plugin "Version:" property and the plugin WC_ACCOMMODATION_BOOKINGS_VERSION constant
• Update @since: Find all new @since x.x.x / @since n.e.x.t lines and update those with the new version number, 1.2.8
• Generate changelog: Locally, generate the changelog by running the following Woorelease command: php woorelease.phar cl:generate --product_version=1.2.8 https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-accommodation-bookings/tree/trunk. Ensure the changelog updates look correct
• Update changelog: Take the changelog generated from the previous step and update the changelog.txt and readme.txt in the release PR with those changes
• Open PR: Open a new PR against trunk from the release branch, release/1.2.8
• Run tests: On this release PR, add the label needs: qit default tests. This will trigger the default QIT tests (activation, API and E2E). Ensure these tests pass as well as all other applicable tests
• Merge: Merge the release PR into trunk
• Prepare ZIP: Prepare the zip by running Woorelease locally on the trunk branch: php woorelease.phar build https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-accommodation-bookings/tree/trunk. Make sure you are running the proper versions of node, npm and composer to ensure the built files are consistent across releases. Versions can be found in package.json
• Compare: Download the latest released zip and then run a diff compare against the generated zip, ensuring all expected changes are there (and no unexpected changes)
• Test ZIP: Take the ZIP generated from the previous step and test this locally, ensuring version numbers look correct, the changelog looks correct and the plugin installs and activates properly
• Attach ZIP: Attach the ZIP to this issue and ping the Automattic team in the #a8c-10up-woo-support channel to complete the release
