+ * - description
+ * - author
+ * - license
+ * - homepage
+ * - repository
+ * - bugs
+ * - keywords
+ * - dependencies
+ * - devDependencies
+ * 
+ * For beta packages, the version number is updated to include a beta suffix.

+ * The new package.json file is written to the lib folder, which is the folder that will be packed and published to npm.
+ * For beta packages, the original package.json file is also temporarily updated with the new beta version number so that
