This stage is executed only on "master" brach and allows us to create a new tag just looking at git commit message.
-It also has an option to automatically generate changelog based on GitHub labels and sync it with GitHub release.
-For the sake of simplicity and to use travis features this stage cannot be integrated with next stage.

-Releases are generated by searching for a keyword in last commit message. Keywords are:
- - [patch] or [fix] to bump patch number
- - [minor], [feature] or [feat] to bump minor number
- - [major] or [breaking change] to bump major number
-All keywords MUST be surrounded with square braces.

This job is responsible for regenerating changelog every day by executing `generate_changelog.sh` script. This is done
