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55 stable, the old stable branch 2N is given up (i.e. no longer maintained), the former development branch 2N+1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

92 <span class="QUOTE">"no!"</span> in case they have pending changes/fixes in their pipelines. Announce the
93 freeze so that nobody will interfere with last minute changes.</p>
96 <p>Update the code status (CODE_STATUS="xxx") in configure.in to one of "alpha", "beta" or "stable".</p>

184 </table>Finished docs should be then be committed to Git (for those without the ability to build these). Some
185 docs may require rather obscure processing tools. <tt class="FILENAME">config</tt>, the man page (and the
186 html version of the man page) fall in this category. README, the man page, AUTHORS, and config should all
187 also be committed to Git for other packagers. The formal docs should be uploaded to the webserver. See the
188 section <a href="webserver-update.html" target="_top">"Updating the webserver"</a> in this manual for
192 <p><span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">Commit all files that were changed in the above
193 steps!</i></span></p>
196 <p>The <i class="CITETITLE">User Manual</i> is also used for context sensitive help for the CGI editor. This
197 is version sensitive, so that the user will get appropriate help for his/her release. So with each release a
198 fresh version should be uploaded to the webserver (this is in addition to the main <i class="CITETITLE">User
199 Manual</i> link from the main page since we need to keep manuals for various versions available). The CGI
200 pages will link to something like <tt class="LITERAL">https://www.privoxy.org/$(VERSION)/user-manual/</tt>.
201 This needs to be updated for each new release and is done with the <span class="QUOTE">"webserver"</span>
205 <p>Tag all files in Git with the version number with <span class="QUOTE">"<b class="COMMAND">git tag -s
206 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>
209 <p>On the webserver, copy the user manual to a new top-level directory called <tt class=
210 "FILENAME">X.Y.Z</tt>. This ensures that help links from the CGI pages, which have the version as a prefix,
211 will go into the right version of the manual. If this is a development branch release, also symlink
212 <tt class="FILENAME">X.Y.(Z-1)</tt> to <tt class="FILENAME">X.Y.Z</tt> and <tt class=

245 <p>Every significant release of Privoxy has included at least one package that either had incorrect

248 sources, and are following the prescribed process!</p>
253 <p>Please find additional instructions for the source tarball and the individual platform dependent binary

256 <h3 class="SECT3"><a name="PACK-GUIDELINES" id="PACK-GUIDELINES">6.3.1. Note on Privoxy Packaging</a></h3>
257 <p>Please keep these general guidelines in mind when putting together your package. These apply to <span class=
258 "emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">all</i></span> platforms!</p>
261 <p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">requires</i></span>
262 write access to: all <tt class="FILENAME">*.action</tt> files, all logfiles, and the <tt class=
263 "FILENAME">trust</tt> file. You will need to determine the best way to do this for your platform.</p>
266 <p>Please include up to date documentation. At a bare minimum:</p>
270 <td><tt class="FILENAME">LICENSE</tt> (top-level directory)</td>
277 <td><tt class="FILENAME">README</tt> (top-level directory)</td>
284 <td><tt class="FILENAME">AUTHORS</tt> (top-level directory)</td>
291 <td><tt class="FILENAME">man page</tt> (top-level directory, Unix-like platforms only)</td>
298 <td><tt class="FILENAME">The User Manual</tt> (doc/webserver/user-manual/)</td>
305 <td><tt class="FILENAME">FAQ</tt> (doc/webserver/faq/)</td>
309 <p>Also suggested: <tt class="FILENAME">Developer Manual</tt> (doc/webserver/developer-manual) and
310 <tt class="FILENAME">ChangeLog</tt> (top-level directory). <tt class="FILENAME">FAQ</tt> and the manuals
312 <p>The documentation has been designed such that the manuals are linked to each other from parallel
313 directories, and should be packaged that way. <tt class="FILENAME">privoxy-index.html</tt> can also be
314 included and can serve as a focal point for docs and other links of interest (and possibly renamed to
315 <tt class="FILENAME">index.html</tt>). This should be one level up from the manuals. There is a link also
316 on this page to an HTMLized version of the man page. To avoid 404 for this, it is in Git as <tt class=
317 "FILENAME">doc/webserver/man-page/privoxy-man-page.html</tt>, and should be included along with the
318 manuals. There is also a css stylesheets that can be included for better presentation: <tt class=
319 "FILENAME">p_doc.css</tt>. This should be in the same directory with <tt class=
320 "FILENAME">privoxy-index.html</tt>, (i.e. one level up from the manual directories).</p>
323 <p><tt class="FILENAME">user.action</tt> and <tt class="FILENAME">user.filter</tt> are designed for local
324 preferences. Make sure these do not get overwritten! <tt class="FILENAME">config</tt> should not be
325 overwritten either. This has especially important configuration data in it. <tt class="FILENAME">trust</tt>
326 should be left in tact as well.</p>
329 <p>Other configuration files (<tt class="FILENAME">default.action</tt>, <tt class=
330 "FILENAME">regression-tests.action</tt> and <tt class="FILENAME">default.filter</tt>) should be installed
331 as the new defaults, but all previously installed configuration files should be preserved as backups. This
332 is just good manners :-) These files are likely to change between releases and contain important new
333 features and bug fixes.</p>
336 <p>Please check platform specific notes in this doc, if you haven't done <span class=
337 "QUOTE">"Privoxy"</span> packaging before for other platform specific issues. Conversely, please add any
338 notes that you know are important for your platform (or contact one of the doc maintainers to do this if
342 <p>Packagers should do a <span class="QUOTE">"clean"</span> install of their package after building it. So
343 any previous installs should be removed first to ensure the integrity of the newly built package. Then run
