104<h1 id="versioning-and-branches">Versioning and Branches</h1>
105<p>[<strong>WORK IN PROGRESS</strong>][](.html)</p>
106<p>It's important to understand how Shaarli branches work, especially if you're maintaining a 3rd party tools for Shaarli (theme, plugin, etc.), to be sure stay compatible.</p>
107<h2 id="master-branch"><code>master</code> branch</h2>
108<p>The <code>master</code> branch is the development branch. Any new change MUST go through this branch using Pull Requests.</p>
109<p>Remarks:</p>
110<ul>
111<li>This branch shouldn't be used for production as it isn't necessary stable.</li>
112<li>3rd party aren't required to be compatible with the latest changes.</li>
113<li>Official plugins, themes and libraries (contained within Shaarli organization repos) must be compatible with the master branch.</li>
114<li>The version in this branch is always <code>dev</code>.</li>
115</ul>
116<h2 id="v0.x-branch"><code>v0.x</code> branch</h2>
117<p>This <code>v0.x</code> branch, points to the latest <code>v0.x.y</code> release.</p>
118<p>Explanation:</p>
119<p>When a new version is released, it might contains a major bug which isn't detected right away. For example, a new PHP version is released, containing backward compatibility issue which doesn't work with Shaarli.</p>
120<p>In this case, the issue is fixed in the <code>master</code> branch, and the fix is backported the to the <code>v0.x</code> branch. Then a new release is made from the <code>v0.x</code> branch.</p>
121<p>This workflow allow us to fix any major bug detected, without having to release bleeding edge feature too soon.</p>
122<h2 id="latest-branch"><code>latest</code> branch</h2>
123<p>This branch point the latest release. It recommended to use it to get the latest tested changes.</p>
124<h2 id="stable-branch"><code>stable</code> branch</h2>
125<p>The <code>stable</code> branch doesn't contain any major bug, and is one major digit version behind the latest release.</p>
126<p>For example, the current latest release is <code>v0.8.3</code>, the stable branch is an alias to the latest <code>v0.7.x</code> release. When the <code>v0.9.0</code> version will be released, the stable will move to the latest <code>v0.8.x</code> release.</p>
127<p>Remarks:</p>
128<ul>
129<li>Shaarli release pace isn't fast, and the stable branch might be a few months behind the latest release.</li>
130</ul>
131<h2 id="releases">Releases</h2>
132<p>Releases are always made from the latest <code>v0.x</code> branch.</p>
133<p>Note that for every release, we manually generate a tarball which contains all Shaarli dependencies, making Shaarli's installation only one step.</p>
134<h2 id="advices-on-3rd-party-git-repos-workflow">Advices on 3rd party git repos workflow</h2>
135<h3 id="versioning">Versioning</h3>
136<p>Any time a new Shaarli release is published, you should publish a new release of your repo if the changes affected you since the latest release (take a look at the <a href="https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/releases">changelog</a> (<em>Draft</em> means not released yet) and the commit log (like <a href="https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/commits/master/tpl/default"><code>tpl</code> folder</a> for themes)). You can either:<a href=".html"></a></p>
137<ul>
138<li>use the Shaarli version number, with your repo version. For example, if Shaarli <code>v0.8.3</code> is released, publish a <code>v0.8.3-1</code> release, where <code>v0.8.3</code> states Shaarli compatibility and <code>-1</code> is your own version digit for the current Shaarli version.</li>
139<li>use your own versioning scheme, and state Shaarli compatibility in the release description.</li>
140</ul>
141<p>Using this, any user will be able to pick the release matching his own Shaarli version.</p>
142<h3 id="major-bugfix-backport-releases">Major bugfix backport releases</h3>
143<p>To be able to support backported fixes, it recommended to use our workflow:</p>
144<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode bash"><code class="sourceCode bash"><span class="co"># In master, fix the major bug</span>
145<span class="fu">git</span> commit -m <span class="st">&quot;Katastrophe&quot;</span>
146<span class="fu">git</span> push origin master
147<span class="co"># Get your commit hash</span>
148<span class="fu">git</span> log --format=<span class="st">&quot;%H&quot;</span> -n 1
149<span class="co"># Create a new branch from your latest release, let&#39;s say v0.8.2-1 (the tag name)</span>
150<span class="fu">git</span> checkout -b katastrophe v0.8.2-1
151<span class="co"># Backport the fix commit to your brand new branch</span>
152<span class="fu">git</span> cherry-pick <span class="op">&lt;</span>fix commit hash<span class="op">&gt;</span>
153<span class="fu">git</span> push origin katastrophe
154<span class="co"># Then you just have to make a new release from the `katastrophe` branch tagged `v0.8.3-1`</span></code></pre></div>
