28 <h1 class="SECT1"><a name="NEWRELEASE" id="NEWRELEASE">6. Releasing a New Version</a></h1>
29 <p>When we release versions of <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>, our work leaves our cozy secret lab and
30 has to work in the cold RealWorld[tm]. Once it is released, there is no way to call it back, so it is very
31 important that great care is taken to ensure that everything runs fine, and not to introduce problems in the very
33 <p>So when releasing a new version, please adhere exactly to the procedure outlined in this chapter.</p>
34 <p>The following programs are required to follow this process: <tt class="FILENAME">ncftpput</tt> (ncftp),
35 <tt class="FILENAME">scp, ssh</tt> (ssh), <tt class="FILENAME">gmake</tt> (GNU's version of make), autoconf,
38 <h2 class="SECT2"><a name="VERSIONNUMBERS" id="VERSIONNUMBERS">6.1. Version numbers</a></h2>
39 <p>First you need to determine which version number the release will have. <span class=
40 "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> version numbers consist of three numbers, separated by dots, like in X.Y.Z (e.g.
44 <p>X, the version major, is rarely ever changed. It is increased by one if turning a development branch into
45 stable substantially changes the functionality, user interface or configuration syntax. Majors 1 and 2 were
46 <span class="APPLICATION">Junkbuster</span>, and 3 will be the first stable <span class=
47 "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> release.</p>
50 <p>Y, the version minor, represents the branch within the major version. At any point in time, there are two
51 branches being maintained: The stable branch, with an even minor, say, 2N, in which no functionality is being
52 added and only bug-fixes are made, and 2N+1, the development branch, in which the further development of
53 <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> takes place. This enables us to turn the code upside down and inside
54 out, while at the same time providing and maintaining a stable version. The minor is reset to zero (and one)
55 when the major is incremented. When a development branch has matured to the point where it can be turned into
56 stable, the old stable branch 2N is given up (i.e. no longer maintained), the former development branch 2N+1
57 becomes the new stable branch 2N+2, and a new development branch 2N+3 is opened.</p>
60 <p>Z, the point or sub version, represents a release of the software within a branch. It is therefore
61 incremented immediately after each software release. The point version is reset to zero when the minor
63 <p>Stable branches work a little differently, since there should be little to no development happening in
64 such branches. Remember, only bugfixes, which presumably should have had some testing before being committed.
65 Stable branches will then have their version reported as <tt class="LITERAL">0.0.0</tt>, during that period
66 between releases when changes are being added. This is to denote that this code is <span class=
67 "emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">not for release</i></span>. Then as the release nears, the version is bumped
68 according: e.g. <tt class="LITERAL">3.0.1 -> 0.0.0 -> 3.0.2</tt>.</p>
71 <p>In summary, the main Git trunk is the development branch where new features are being worked on for the next
72 stable series. This should almost always be where the most activity takes place. There is always at least one
73 stable branch from the trunk, e.g now it is <tt class="LITERAL">3.0</tt>, which is only used to release stable
74 versions. Once the initial *.0 release of the stable branch has been done, then as a rule, only bugfixes that
75 have had prior testing should be committed to the stable branch. Once there are enough bugfixes to justify a new
76 release, the version of this branch is again incremented Example: 3.0.0 -> 3.0.1 -> 3.0.2, etc are all
77 stable releases from within the stable branch. 3.1.x is currently the main trunk, and where work on 3.2.x is
78 taking place. If any questions, please post to the devel list <span class="emphasis"><i class=
79 "EMPHASIS">before</i></span> committing to a stable branch!</p>
80 <p>Developers should remember too that if they commit a bugfix to the stable branch, this will more than likely
81 require a separate submission to the main trunk, since these are separate development trees within Git. If you
82 are working on both, then this would require at least two separate check outs (i.e main trunk, <span class=
83 "emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">and</i></span> the stable release branch, which is <tt class=
84 "LITERAL">v_3_0_branch</tt> at the moment).</p>

88 <p>The following <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">must be done by one of the developers</i></span>

93 <span class="QUOTE">"no!"</span> in case they have pending changes/fixes in their pipelines. Announce the

97 <p>Update the code status (CODE_STATUS="xxx") in configure.in to one of "alpha", "beta" or "stable".</p>

185 </table>Finished docs should be then be committed to Git (for those without the ability to build these). Some
186 docs may require rather obscure processing tools. <tt class="FILENAME">config</tt>, the man page (and the
187 html version of the man page) fall in this category. README, the man page, AUTHORS, and config should all
188 also be committed to Git for other packagers. The formal docs should be uploaded to the webserver. See the

194 steps!</i></span></p>
197 <p>The <i class="CITETITLE">User Manual</i> is also used for context sensitive help for the CGI editor. This
198 is version sensitive, so that the user will get appropriate help for his/her release. So with each release a
199 fresh version should be uploaded to the webserver (this is in addition to the main <i class="CITETITLE">User
200 Manual</i> link from the main page since we need to keep manuals for various versions available). The CGI
201 pages will link to something like <tt class="LITERAL">http://privoxy.org/$(VERSION)/user-manual/</tt>. This
202 will need to be updated for each new release. There is no Makefile target for this at this time!!! It needs
203 to be done manually.</p>

207 v_X_Y_Z</b>"</span>. Don't use vX_Y_Z, ver_X_Y_Z, v_X.Y.Z (won't work) etc.</p>
210 <p>On the webserver, copy the user manual to a new top-level directory called <tt class=
211 "FILENAME">X.Y.Z</tt>. This ensures that help links from the CGI pages, which have the version as a prefix,
212 will go into the right version of the manual. If this is a development branch release, also symlink

246 <p>Every significant release of Privoxy has included at least one package that either had incorrect
247 versions of files, missing files, or incidental leftovers from a previous build process that gave unknown
248 numbers of users headaches to try to figure out what was wrong. PLEASE, make sure you are using pristene
249 sources, and are following the prescribed process!</p>
254 <p>Please find additional instructions for the source tarball and the individual platform dependent binary
255 packages below. And details on the Sourceforge release process below that.</p>
257 <h3 class="SECT3"><a name="PACK-GUIDELINES" id="PACK-GUIDELINES">6.3.1. Note on Privoxy Packaging</a></h3>
258 <p>Please keep these general guidelines in mind when putting together your package. These apply to <span class=
259 "emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">all</i></span> platforms!</p>
262 <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">requires</i></span>
263 write access to: all <tt class="FILENAME">*.action</tt> files, all logfiles, and the <tt class=
264 "FILENAME">trust</tt> file. You will need to determine the best way to do this for your platform.</p>
267 <p>Please include up to date documentation. At a bare minimum:</p>
271 <td><tt class="FILENAME">LICENSE</tt> (top-level directory)</td>
278 <td><tt class="FILENAME">README</tt> (top-level directory)</td>
285 <td><tt class="FILENAME">AUTHORS</tt> (top-level directory)</td>
292 <td><tt class="FILENAME">man page</tt> (top-level directory, Unix-like platforms only)</td>
299 <td><tt class="FILENAME">The User Manual</tt> (doc/webserver/user-manual/)</td>
306 <td><tt class="FILENAME">FAQ</tt> (doc/webserver/faq/)</td>
310 <p>Also suggested: <tt class="FILENAME">Developer Manual</tt> (doc/webserver/developer-manual) and
311 <tt class="FILENAME">ChangeLog</tt> (top-level directory). <tt class="FILENAME">FAQ</tt> and the manuals
312 are HTML docs. There are also text versions in <tt class="FILENAME">doc/text/</tt> which could conceivably
313 also be included.</p>
314 <p>The documentation has been designed such that the manuals are linked to each other from parallel
315 directories, and should be packaged that way. <tt class="FILENAME">privoxy-index.html</tt> can also be
316 included and can serve as a focal point for docs and other links of interest (and possibly renamed to
317 <tt class="FILENAME">index.html</tt>). This should be one level up from the manuals. There is a link also
318 on this page to an HTMLized version of the man page. To avoid 404 for this, it is in Git as <tt class=
319 "FILENAME">doc/webserver/man-page/privoxy-man-page.html</tt>, and should be included along with the
320 manuals. There is also a css stylesheets that can be included for better presentation: <tt class=
321 "FILENAME">p_doc.css</tt>. This should be in the same directory with <tt class=
322 "FILENAME">privoxy-index.html</tt>, (i.e. one level up from the manual directories).</p>
325 <p><tt class="FILENAME">user.action</tt> and <tt class="FILENAME">user.filter</tt> are designed for local
326 preferences. Make sure these do not get overwritten! <tt class="FILENAME">config</tt> should not be
327 overwritten either. This has especially important configuration data in it. <tt class="FILENAME">trust</tt>
328 should be left in tact as well.</p>
331 <p>Other configuration files (<tt class="FILENAME">default.action</tt> and <tt class=
332 "FILENAME">default.filter</tt>) should be installed as the new defaults, but all previously installed
333 configuration files should be preserved as backups. This is just good manners :-) These files are likely to
334 change between releases and contain important new features and bug fixes.</p>
337 <p>Please check platform specific notes in this doc, if you haven't done <span class=
338 "QUOTE">"Privoxy"</span> packaging before for other platform specific issues. Conversely, please add any
339 notes that you know are important for your platform (or contact one of the doc maintainers to do this if
343 <p>Packagers should do a <span class="QUOTE">"clean"</span> install of their package after building it. So
344 any previous installs should be removed first to ensure the integrity of the newly built package. Then run
345 the package for a while to make sure there are no obvious problems, before uploading.</p>

551 <p>Check out the module from Git as follows into a folder parallel to the exported privoxy source:</p>
552 <table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">

561 <table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
564 <pre class="PROGRAMLISTING"> cd osxsetup
569 <p>This will run <tt class="FILENAME">autoheader</tt>, <tt class="FILENAME">autoconf</tt> and <tt class=
570 "FILENAME">configure</tt> as well as <tt class="FILENAME">make</tt>. Finally, it will copy over the necessary
571 files to the ./osxsetup/files directory for further processing by <tt class="FILENAME">PackageMaker</tt>.</p>
572 <p>Bring up PackageMaker with the PrivoxyPackage.pmsp definition file, modify the package name to match the
573 release, and hit the "Create package" button. If you specify ./Privoxy.pkg as the output package name, you
574 can then create the distributable zip file with the command:</p>
575 <table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
578 <pre class="PROGRAMLISTING"> zip -r privoxyosx_setup_x.y.z.zip Privoxy.pkg</pre>
582 <p>You can then upload this file directly to the Files section of the Sourceforge project in the Macintosh
583 (OS X) folder. Each new version release of Privoxy should have a new subfolder created in which to store its
584 files. Please ensure that the folder contains a readme file that makes it clear which version(s) of OS X the
585 package supports.</p>

589 <p>The macsetup module is ideal if you wish to build and install Privoxy from source on a single machine.</p>
590 <p>Check out the module from Git as follows into a folder parallel to the exported privoxy source:</p>
591 <table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
595 "PROGRAMLISTING"> cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa co macsetup</pre>
599 <p>The module contains complete instructions on its usage in its <tt class="FILENAME">README</tt> file. The
600 end result will be the exported version of Privoxy installed on the build machine.</p>

612 <p>After the package is ready, it is time to upload it to SourceForge, and go through the release steps. The
613 upload is done via FTP:</p>
616 <p>Upload to: <a href="ftp://upload.sourceforge.net/incoming" target=
617 "_top">ftp://upload.sourceforge.net/incoming</a></p>
620 <p>user: <tt class="LITERAL">anonymous</tt></p>
623 <p>password: <tt class="LITERAL">ijbswa-developers@lists.sourceforge.net</tt></p>
626 <p>Or use the <b class="COMMAND">make</b> targets as described above.</p>
627 <p>Once this done go to <a href="https://sourceforge.net/project/admin/editpackages.php?group_id=11118" target=
628 "_top">https://sourceforge.net/project/admin/editpackages.php?group_id=11118</a>, making sure you are logged in.
629 Find your target platform in the second column, and click <tt class="LITERAL">Add Release</tt>. You will then
630 need to create a new release for your package, using the format of <tt class="LITERAL">$VERSION
631 ($CODE_STATUS)</tt>, e.g. <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">3.0.29 (beta)</i></span>.</p>
632 <p>Now just follow the prompts. Be sure to add any appropriate Release notes. You should see your freshly
633 uploaded packages in <span class="QUOTE">"Step 2. Add Files To This Release"</span>. Check the appropriate
634 box(es). Remember at each step to hit the <span class="QUOTE">"Refresh/Submit"</span> buttons! You should now see
635 your file(s) listed in Step 3. Fill out the forms with the appropriate information for your platform, being sure
636 to hit <span class="QUOTE">"Update"</span> for each file. If anyone is monitoring your platform, check the
637 <span class="QUOTE">"email"</span> box at the very bottom to notify them of the new package. This should do
639 <p>If you have made errors, or need to make changes, you can go through essentially the same steps, but select
640 <tt class="LITERAL">Edit Release</tt>, instead of <tt class="LITERAL">Add Release</tt>.</p>
643 <h2 class="SECT2"><a name="AFTERRELEASE" id="AFTERRELEASE">6.5. After the Release</a></h2>
644 <p>When all (or: most of the) packages have been uploaded and made available, send an email to the <a href=

648 notes and the Changelog. Also, post an updated News item on the project page Sourceforge, and update the Home
649 page and docs linked from the Home page (see below). Other news sites and release oriented sites, such as
650 Freshmeat, should also be notified.</p>
