Description
Currently on the 4.x branch (now a maintenance branch since 5.0.0 has been released), the make cutarelease target is used to tag and publish a new release. npm publish however will implicitly assign the 'latest' dist tag to this releae. We don't want that for 4.x, because 5.x releases should stay as the "latest".
Proposal: Use npm publish --tag=latest-4. Explicitly using a tag gets npm publish to not implicitly use 'latest'. I'm copying npm's own "latest-$majorver" pattern here:
$ npm info npm dist-tags
{ latest: '5.0.4',
next: '5.0.4',
'latest-2': '2.15.12',
'next-2': '2.15.12',
'latest-1': '1.4.29',
lts: '2.15.11',
'latest-3': '3.10.10',
'next-3': '3.10.10',
'latest-4': '4.6.1',
'next-4': '4.6.1',
'latest-5': '5.0.4',
'next-5': '5.0.4',
'v5.0-next': '5.0.4' }
