Closed cuavas closed 9 months ago

Create release branch

[x] Pull latest master branch, and run make cleansrc
[x] Check differences, manually clean up anything broken (useful to check git diff -b as well as git diff to see changes that affect things other than whitespace)
[x] Do a full build with DEBUG=1 TOOLS=1 to ensure changes compile/validate
[x] Check software lists against DTD: for x in hash/*.xml ; do xmllint --noout --valid "$x" ; done
[x] Check software hash files’ XML structure: for x in hash/*.hsi ; do xmllint --noout "$x" ; done
[x] Commit changes and push to master branch
[x] Create release branch and push to GitHub
[x] Push branch point to master branch on GitLab and SourceForge
[x] Create new version on MAME Testers with anticipated release date (last Wednesday of following month, 00:00:00Z), marked unreleased

Generate preliminary release notes

[x] Pull latest release branch from mame repository and latest master branch from build repository
[x] In build repository, run script to scrape commits and pull requests, e.g. python3 makewn.py -c ../mame -u <user> -o whatsnew/whatsnew_0124.txt
[x] Get -listxml output from previous release from a download mirror
[x] Generate -listxml output with a preliminary build from the release branch
[x] In build repository, run script to identify added/promoted/renamed/removed machines, e.g. python3 newdrivers.py mame0123.xml new.xml | tee -a whatsnew/whatsnew_0124.txt
[x] Copy resolved bugs from MAME Testers change log page to relevant section in release notes
[x] Before any editing, commit generated release notes for reference

Prepare release notes

[x] Reconcile added/promoted systems and software with credits in commit messages and pull request descriptions, moving entries to the relevant sections at the top, and sorting correctly
[x] Check commit log for language folder and list updated translation in the relevant section at the top
[x] Sort resolved bugs and edit descriptions
[x] Summarise merged pull requests, making verb tense consistent
[x] Standardise contributor names
[x] Strategically use non-breaking spaces to hopefully avoid line breaks at inopportune points
[x] Add anticipated release date to top line
[x] Commit changes, push to master branch, and let people know it’s ready for proof-reading

Build release

[x] Pull latest release branch
[x] In build repository, scrape latest commits, do a final check of release notes, commit changes, and push to master branch
[x] Ensure version is updated in android-project/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml (two lines), docs/source/conf.py (two lines), and makefile (two lines)
[x] Ensure there are no uncommitted changes on release branch
[x] Create signed, annotated tag for release, e.g. git tag -s -m"MAME 0.124" mame0124
[x] Clone mame repository into a clean directory and check out release tag, e.g. git clone -b mame0124 mame mame-release
[x] In new clone, double-check that git describe and git log -1 show what’s expected
[x] Use commands from build-release.bat in build repository to build 64-bit release binaries, e.g. (MINGW64=/mingw64 MINGW32= make TARGET=mame TOOLS=1 SEPARATE_BIN=1 PTR64=1 OPTIMIZE=3 SYMBOLS=1 SYMLEVEL=1 REGENIE=1 -j9 ARCHOPTS="-fomit-frame-pointer -fuse-ld=lld" OVERRIDE_AR=llvm-ar && make -f dist.mak PTR64=1 -j5) |& tee ../build64.log
[x] Check build log for anything suspicious
[x] Double-check that build repository is up-to-date
[x] Use release.sh from build repository to package release, e.g. bash ../build/release.sh 0124

Prepare media

[x] Add previous release to oldrel.php
[x] Copy release notes to releases folder
[x] Create release announcement post in posts
[x] Add content from release notes above the “Source changes” heading to release announcement below the  tag, adding HTML markup for formatting
[x] Ensure MAME Testers bug numbers, GitHub pull request and issue numbers, and anything else relevant are linked correctly
[x] Use <tt> formatting for literal code, command-line options, etc.
[x] Write executive summary above the  tag – aim for at least three paragraphs of content, call out a few interesting or notable changes
[x] Put release announcement post in a simple HTML wrapper, preview it, and check for HTML syntax/nesting errors
[x] Commit changes to web site pages
[x] Convert executive summary to UBB flavours for forum.mamedev.org, forums.bannister.org, and mameworld.info, and markdown flavours for reddit and GitHub, and check previews
