<h1>Release process<a class="headerlink" href="#release-process" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
|
|
<p>Corda is under heavy development. The current release process is therefore geared towards rapid iteration.</p>
|
|
<p>Each Corda development release is called a <em>milestone</em> and has its own branch in the git repository. Milestones are
|
|
temporarily stabilised snapshots of the Corda code which are suitable for developers to experiment with. They may
|
|
receive backported bugfixes but once announced a milestone will not have any API or backwards compatibility breaks.</p>
|
|
<p>Between milestones backwards compatibility is expected to break. Every new milestone comes with a short announcement
|
|
detailing:</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li>What major improvements have been made.</li>
|
|
<li>How to forward port your code to the new milestone.</li>
|
|
<li>What new documentation has become available.</li>
|
|
<li>Important known issues.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Eventually, Corda will stabilise and release version 1. At that point backwards compatibility will be guaranteed
|
|
forever and the software will be considered production ready. Until then, expect it to be a building site and wear your
|
|
hard hat.</p>
|
|
<p>Our goal is to cut a new milestone roughly once a month. There are no fixed dates. If need be, a milestone may slip by
|
|
a few days to ensure the code is sufficiently usable. Usually the release will happen around the end of the month.</p>
|
|
<div class="section" id="steps-to-cut-a-release">
|
|
<h2>Steps to cut a release<a class="headerlink" href="#steps-to-cut-a-release" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<ol class="arabic simple">
|
|
<li>Pick a commit that is stable and do basic QA: run all the tests, run the demos.</li>
|
|
<li>Review the commits between this release and the last looking for new features, API changes, etc. Make sure the
|
|
summary in the current section of the <a class="reference internal" href="release-notes.html"><span class="doc">Release notes</span></a> is correct and update if not. Then move it into the right
|
|
section for this release. This is the right place to put any advice on how to port app code from the last release.</li>
|
|
<li>Additionally, if there are any new features or APIs that deserve a new section in the docsite and the author didn’t
|
|
create one, bug them to do so a day or two before the release.</li>
|
|
<li>Regenerate the docsite if necessary and commit.</li>
|
|
<li>Create a branch with a name like <cite>release-M0</cite> where 0 is replaced by the number of the milestone.</li>
|
|
<li>Adjust the version in the root build.gradle file to take out the -SNAPSHOT and commit it on the branch.</li>
|
|
<li>Remove the “is master” warning from the docsite index page on this branch only.</li>
|
|
<li>Tag the branch with a tag like <cite>release-M0.0</cite></li>
|
|
<li>Push the branch and the tag to git.</li>
|
|
<li>Write up a short announcement containing the summary of new features, changes, and API breaks. Send it to the r3dlg-awg mailing list.</li>
|
|
<li>On master, adjust the version number in the root build.gradle file upwards.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>If there are serious bugs found in the release, backport the fix to the branch and then tag it with e.g. <cite>release-M0.1</cite>
|
|
Minor changes to the branch don’t have to be announced unless it’d be critical to get all developers updated.</p>
