Development

This section aims to document some parts of the development process.

Preparing a release

When creating a new release, the following steps should be taken in the order given below:
  • Make sure the code is ready. It should contain all the required features and fixes.
  • Test whether stuff actually works. Releasing buggy binaries just wastes time.
  • Override the version strings. See the file attached below. Override IS_TRUNK_REV and IS_REV_NAME with the correct values.
  • Ask Rubidium or TrueBrain to build the binaries and make sure they are in the correct location.
  • Make sure patch files are available in trunk-patches
  • Edit the tt-forums post, IRC channel titles etc to let the world know.
