Release SDK

• If milestone wasn't created before, create it:

  • !!! Don't use nano section in version, because you will get unexpected result, example: 2.6.13.1 -> 2.6.1-3.1

• Make sure that current stage of build good
  • Check last CI build (it should be success)
  • Run make build to double-check
  • Start Genymotion emulator & run make test
    • Make sure that all tests passed
