State of the world: Release-1.0.0 is the unchanging 1.0.0 snapshot. If you need to lock down a specific unchanging OIIO, this is the current recommended one.
RB-1.0 is the stable 1.0 release branch which will get fixes and occasional low-risk additions, but will not break link compatibility or change existing API function signatures. Additional Release-1.0.x tags will occasionally be added to snapshot specific stable releases. If you want to keep synchronized to a stable, safe, production-worthy branch and want it continually updated with bug fixes, RB-1.0 is the one for you. RB-0.10 (and Release-0.10.x tags) are the old stable releases. We will continue to update with critical bug fixes as needed, until nobody seems to be relying on it any longer. RB-0.9 (or earlier) is considered deprecated and currently won't even receive bug fixes unless somebody specifically requests it. master is the development branch for 1.1. At this moment, it is identical to RB-1.0, but at any time we may introduce non-back-compatible API changes, link incompatibilities, or experimental features that may not be stable. I don't recommend using this for production unless you are desperate for a particular feature that cannot be safely migrated to a release branch. (That being said, we do use the master branch directly at SPI for our renderer, so if something breaks severely, we are under tremendous pressure to fix it immediately.) -- Larry Gritz [email protected] _______________________________________________ Oiio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openimageio.org/listinfo.cgi/oiio-dev-openimageio.org
