Start versioning and releasing new versions #181

Open rpannek opened 7 years ago

rpannek commented 7 years ago

As a user it is somewhat difficult to know if the master branch is compatible with my application or if it will break my code, and which version I need to use.

It would be nice if you started releasing versions according to for example http://semver.org/

Github makes it really easy, once you create a tag and push it, it creates a special release page where you can put your release notes, etc. and it creates a tarball and a zip package for it so people who package stuff for distributions have an easier way packaging it.

Hi,

This is already the plan, we will indeed use semantic versioning when doing releases, and we will use the github release system. We have in our pipeline to define a nice way of generating release notes etc, so that releasing is done simply.

This is now started :)

rpannek commented 7 years ago

Hm, I still can't see any releases https://github.com/Pelagicore/softwarecontainer/releases

DunderRoffe commented 7 years ago

@rpannek there are currently no releases. However, we now properly update the minor version. @breakreturn correct me if I am wrong but we are not planing to do any proper "release" before we bump major version?

Let's keep this open for now. It's not decided when we will start using the github release system.

JLR is using the GitHub release system here: https://github.com/GENIVI/rvi_lib/releases/tag/v0.1.0 Looks good.
