BRANCHES
gLabels will typically have 2 active branches: a stable branch and a development branch.
Stable branch
A stable branch will maintained in a git branch named glabels-major.minor. E.g. "glabels-4.0". Some characteristics of a stable branch:
- Prerequisites are fixed for the lifetime of the branch.
- The primary purpose of releases within a branch is to fix bugs.
- Besides bug fixes, releases may also include new and updated translations, updated documentation, and new label templates.
- Generally, no new features will be introduced by a release within a stable branch unless it is necessary to fix a bug. Such a fix should not introduce new prerequisites.
- Nor will code be refactored unless it is necessary to fix a bug.
Unstable/development branch
The current development branch is maintained in the Git master branch. Some characteristics of the development branch:
- Prerequisites are volatile and may change release to release.
- The primary purpose of releases is to introduce new features and get them in the hands of testers.
- Features and file formats may be volatile and change release to release.
- No attempt will be made to maintain backwards compatibility with development releases.
Version numbering
- Versions are numbered major.minor.micro (e.g. 4.0.3)
- major version indicates a major change in architecture or technology
- 2.x.x was based on gtk+-2
- 3.x.x was based on gtk+-3
- 4.x.x is based on qt-5
- minor version indicates a minor change in features or design
- even minor versions are from a stable branch
- odd minor versions are from a development branch
- micro version indicates a bugfix release
- See above for release characteristics within a stable branch
