Thanks to Rick we got the version information updated in trunk
(<https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/code-0/12539/>).
Todos:
* add "#define REXX_INTERPRETER_5_1_0 0x00050100" to trunk's api/oorexxapi.h
* on Sourceforge create "files/oorexx/5.1.0beta" to receive the new builds
from trunk
* change branches/5.0.0 such that release builds
o set debug to .false in .rexxinfo
o and "rexx -v" does not append the string "- Internal Test Version" to
the first line
* on Sourceforge create "files/oorexx/5.0.0gamma" to receive the new builds
from
branches/5.0.0, this directory will be removed before producing the final
release
installation packages for which then the directory "files/oorexx/5.0.0"
gets created and
staged for three days such that the developers can test the location and
prepare supporting
materials like list of changes since the last release, announcements and
such
If can rename 5.0.0.Beta to 5.0.0 already now, is that a problem? I will amend the scripts to
upload there until we have a new beta. I do not know how to „Stage“ it, if I rename it the change
will be visible automatically. I can put a text warning in there until it is an official release
though.
Staging seems to be only possible when creating a new folder entry. So we would need to delete the
existing folder and create it again to gain the staging.
5.0.0Gamma sounds weird, I never had a software in „Gamma“.
Alpha would be misleading as that phase comes before the beta phase which we are leaving for 5.0.0.
Using "gamma" comes from the 90ies I guess and it would follow the greek alphabet alpha -> beta ->
gamma which actually would be actually ga (general available) [1]. But if it is irritating,
misleading, we can just use a name likde "5.0.0tmp" indicating a temporaray directory.
Once everything is set and placed into "5.0.0tmp" we could rename it to "5.0.0" indicating the
official release folder.
Why not simply call it 5.1.0alfa (or beta), this is where the rolling version will go once the
version in 5.0.0 is frozen.
This would be the folder for the trunk version. We should *never* mix the
release and the trunk version!
Or with other words: the production from trunk should go to "5.1.0beta" ASAP.
[The production for the release 5.0.0 version should go to a different folder, maybe named
"5.0.0tmp" as suggested above and if the release notes got prepared rename it to "5.0.0" (no
addition indicates a general available, a release version.]
Would that be o.k.?
