1. Bump the version numbers as desired manually
2. Use bun run build on the top level of the monorepo to build each package
3. Use bun run publish-all to publish all (or bun run publish-all-test to do a dry run). You can do this even if you just bumped one package version. The others will fail to publish and continue.

Feel free to use this code in any projects, commercial or otherwise.

If you use this code or wrap the library to create another shader library or tool, we ask that you give attribution and link to Paper Shaders (it helps us continue investing in this project). Thank you!
