Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Cordova Wiki" for change notification.
The "VersioningAndReleaseStrategy" page has been changed by AndrewGrieve: https://wiki.apache.org/cordova/VersioningAndReleaseStrategy New page: = Versioning and Release Strategy = == Versioning Strategies == 1. "''SemVer''" ([[http://www.semver.org|Semantic Version]]) * Used by platforms, plugman, cli, core plugins * Is important when describing dependencies in a sane way (e.g. within plugin.xml files) * Referenced sparingly by docs / blogs (e.g. only by release notes) 2. "''CadVer''" (Cadence Version) * Used by CLI, mobile-spec, cordova-js * Also referred to as the "''Cordova Version''". * Referenced by our website, blogs & docs * Used by JIRA for the "''Fix Version''" field * Each ''CadVer'' maps to a set of repo ''SemVer''s. * E.g. 3.0.0 uses `[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]` * E.g. 3.1.0 uses `[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]` * E.g. 3.2.0 uses `[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]` * E.g. 3.2.1 uses `[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]` CLI exists in both lists because its version has the format: ''CadVer-SemVer'' * E.g.: `3.0.0-0.5.1` == Release Strategies == 1. '''On-Demand Releases''' * Any repository can do an on-demand release at any time. * These happen only when the team decides that a release cannot wait for the next regular release to happen * These releases contain critical bug fixes that can't wait for the next scheduled release. 2. '''Weekly Releases''' * These occur at most once a week. * Rationale: Reduces the number of releases to at most one per week so that users are not annoyed by having to update too frequently. * Rationale: Reduces the number of blog posts and release notes to write * `CLI`, `Plugman`: Releases happen on Tuesdays * `Core Plugins`: Releases happen on Wednesdays * These releases contain non-critical bug fixes as well as new features. 3. '''Cadence Releases''' * These follow the 10 releases per year, as enumerated on RoadmapProjects * The `CadVer` is increased (either MAJOR or MINOR) on each release. * These releases include: platform repos, cordova-js, mobile-spec, cordova-docs, cordova-cli, cordova-plugman How version numbers are stored is described by StoringRepoVersionsDesign How version releases are done is described by CuttingReleases How to commit code is described by CommitterWorkflow
