@tablecheck/semantic-release-config

A semantic-release config, used with our commitlint settings and does the following steps.

1. Increments the version according to conventional-commits.
2. Publishes a "GitHub Release" with correctly linked JIRA tickets.
3. Publishes a message to a slack webhook.
4. Outputs the new version to version.txt for ease of use in other reports.
