+### Releases
+
+Releases are automated with [Release Please](https://github.com/googleapis/release-please). Merging its release PR updates the package version and changelog, creates the GitHub release, and publishes the package to npm. The repository requires an `NPM_TOKEN` secret; a `RELEASE_PLEASE_TOKEN` secret is recommended so release PRs run the regular pull-request CI.
