Oyun: Development

Undertake the following steps before completing a release:

1. Years and Dates
   • Update year if it’s changed:
     • ChangeLog files in root directory
     • README
     • All source-file copyrights in src/
     • Copyright notices in the [[Release Notes]]
2. Release Notes
   • Update the [[Release Notes]] on the wiki.
   • Generate the NEWS file by running make news_file.
   • Change version numbers in CMakeLists.txt and in the Doxyfile.
3. Documentation
   • Check that any and all new features are documented in the documentation.
   • Update the docs in the master branch by executing: cd doc/manual/gh-wiki; git pull; cd ..; git add gh-wiki and committing.
   • Check that a Doxygen documentation run doesn’t report any errors.
   • Build the Doxygen docs and copy them over to the gh-pages branch.
   • Update the ChangeLog by running make changelog_file.
4. Commit Code
   • Push the proposed final version and test it on Windows and Mac. Also, build all three installation packages and ensure that they function correctly.
   • Tag the version on GitHub: git tag -a v2.0.b2.
   • From this point on, no changes to the code.
5. Build Packages
   • Using the tagged release, build Windows, Mac, and Source packages.
   • Upload the packages to GitHub.
6. Announce
   • Update all the links on the Downloads page on the website.
   • Update all the links on the Home page on the website.
   • FIXME: When we have a mailing list, send an e-mail to the oyun-announce list.
7. Bump
   • Create space for a new version in the Release Notes, and fill in features and bug-fixes as they happen.
