ReleaseInfo

This is for developers and porters only!

No need to take this document too seriously. Common sense applies. :)

Stable releases

Revision

Take the corresponding tag from the repository and compile that. E.g. if you want to build 1.5.1, take tags/1.5.1, not the HEAD revision.

Filenames

When uploading a new stable release, please name the file as "klystrack-1.5.1.dmg" or such, adding the platform in the filename in case the extension might collide with another file. E.g. "klystrack-1.5.1-win32.zip" (some other platform might use the zip format).

File description

Please add a short description such as "AmigaOS4 port" etc. and use the same description across versions. If there are e.g. archive and installer files for the same release, please use a different description for each.

Add suitable tags, namely the OpSys tags and the Type tags, e.g. OpSys-OSX Type-Archive.

When adding a new latest stable build, please add the Featured tag and remove the Featured tag from the older files! This makes the latest files visible on the main page so people can find them more easily.

If a release fixes a security or otherwise annoying bug (read: crash, data loss), deprecate the older releases with the issue. Working releases do not need to be deleted.

Nightly/beta builds

Please differentiate the unstable builds from the stable releases by using a filename that includes the revision somewhere and preferably add "nightly" there somewhere, too.

Please use the Nightly tag so the file stands out as a test build. Please deprecate (delete the file and select deprecate) if there are more than, say, three nightlies on the download page.
