Checklist for Irrlicht developers for doing releases.
|
|
|
|
- PRE-BUILD TESTS:
|
|
- - Run tests in the tests folder
|
|
- - Compile and run all examples for testing (preferably on all platforms,
|
|
compilers, settings ... until you are certain enough stuff works sufficiently).
|
|
Ask for help for platforms which you don't own.
|
|
- - Compile the tools on all platforms you have. Note that some tools are in the buildall-examples VS project files on Windows, but on Linux
|
|
command line you have to compile them individually.
|
|
|
|
- VERSION UPDATES:
|
|
- - check IRRLICHT_SDK_VERSION (in IrrCompileConfig.h)
|
|
- - check version number in the Makefile
|
|
- - update readme.txt (version number, supported compilers)
|
|
- - Add new release information (date+version-number) in changes.txt
|
|
- - go through folders if other .txt files still make sense (things change and updating those files tends to be forgotten)
|
|
|
|
- BUILDING THE RELEASE
|
|
- - run a clean build for buildAllExamples in the examples folder with the
|
|
target compiler for 32-bit and for release (preferably oldest supported VS
|
|
compiler, otherwise oldest you have still installed)
|
|
- - when possible compile the dll for MinGW on Windows (in release and with -s for smaller size)
|
|
- - when possible compile the dll for 64 bit (again with Visual Studio and release)
|
|
- - run makedocumentation in scripts\doc\irrlicht
|
|
- - create a target directory, like irrlicht-1.8.1 for example
|
|
- - svn export to the target directory
|
|
- - copy the subfolders of doctemp into the doc folder of the target directory
|
|
careful, this should only be one(!) subfolder (we ended up with copies before, maybe Windows/Linux builds use different names?)
|
|
- - copy all .exe files (except test.exe) from bin\Win32-VisualStudio (.pdb's are not necessary)
|
|
- - copy Irrlicht.dll from bin\Win32-visualstudio
|
|
- - copy the files in lib\Win32-visualstudio
|
|
- - copy Irrlicht.dll from bin\Win64-VisualStudio
|
|
- - copy the files in lib\Win64-visualstudio
|
|
- - copy Irrlicht.dll from bin\Win32-gcc
|
|
- - copy the files in lib\Win32-gcc
|
|
- - remove the tests folder
|
|
- - remove scripts folder (if the release comes with docs, if you do a release
|
|
without docs for smaller filesizes then the script folder has to stay in).
|
|
- - create a zip file
|
|
- - figure out how to fix unix access right for shell-scripts in the zip file (my
|
|
trick so far is: unzip in Linux, set +x for all .sh files, zip again)
|
|
|
|
RELEASING:
|
|
- - upload the zip-file somewhere, then download it again on all platforms and do
|
|
another quick test with that file (do examples still run, can you compile)
|
|
- - give the link to the zip out on the mailinglist for others to look at
|
|
- - Upload new documentation (the content of doc/html) to: web.sourceforge.net
|
|
(sftp protocol, user and passwd are your sourceforge account, the folder
|
|
might not be shown - but you can still cd into it!):
|
|
/home/project-web/i/ir/irrlicht/htdocs
|
|
Best create first a folder with a new name, copy stuff in there, test (just
|
|
check the website), rename old folder and give new folder the "docu" name.
|
|
Then you can delete the old folder if you want.
|
|
- - upload the zip by logging in to sourceforge and using the "Files" menu (needs
|
|
admin privileges and it's the 'Files' menu between 'Summary' and 'Reviews').
|
|
The target is in one of the Irrlicht SDK subfolders. Then click the "i" beside
|
|
the file and "select all" to make it the active download.
|
|
- - write a forum post, tell everyone in facebook, reddit, your friends...
|
|
- - login to wordpress at http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/wp-login.php, update the
|
|
downloads section and write a release post.
