Adds an automatic changelog generator

[atruskie]

Added instructions for creating releases

Changes

Invocation is manual at the moment since I don't have a neat way to auto-generate version numbers.

Also deleteded old travis file and updated docs.

Problems

Can't figure out a sane way to auto increment versions. For now, leaving the version in the VERSION file should make this easy to script later on.

Looks good. I'm surprised the ruby ecosystem doesn't have somewhere already set which defines the version of a project, similar to the package.json file in node.

They do for Gems (packages). The .gemspec has a version field. Most libs simply define a VERSION constant in the root module. But it doesn't seem there is a consistent method for rails. I kept it in settings simply because that is where it was before 🤷‍♂️
