Publishing a new Imagine release

Follow these instructions when publishing a new Imagine release:

2. Update the CHANGELOG.md file:
   • replace the ### NEXT (YYYY-MM-DD) line with the release number and date
3. Set the new version in the Imagine\Image\ImagineInterface::VERSION constant:
   • it's defined in the file src/Image/ImagineInterface.php
4. Commit these changes and push to the develop branch
5. Wait until TravisCI jobs complete succesfully
   • one of those jobs should automatically add a new commit to the develop branch, updating the API docs
6. Create a new release on GitHub
   • Go to https://github.com/avalanche123/Imagine/releases/new and enter this data:

     • Release title: the new version (with a leating v - for example v1.2.3)
     • Release description: copy the relevant section from the CHANGELOG.md file
   • the new release should appear on https://imagine.readthedocs.io in a short time
7. Fast forward the master branch to this new tag (for example 1.2.3)
8. Wait until TravisCI jobs complete
9. Update the CHANGELOG.md file:
   • add a new ### NEXT (YYYY-MM-DD) line
