Crystal Space Version 1.4 Planning
Overview
The 1.4 version is drawing closer, and this page is thought as a more fine-grained planning of what needs to be done and how to do it to get a 1.4 release out the door.
The SVN URL for CS 1.4: svn.code.sf.net/p/crystal/code/CS/branches/release/V1.4
The SVN URL for CEL 1.4: svn.code.sf.net/p/cel/code/cel/branches/release/V1.4
The cswin32libs version to use with 1.4 is 1.4_002.
Timeline
CS 1.4 branch was created from trunk on 2008-06-05 by r29844.
CEL 1.4 branch was created from trunk on 2008-06-05 by cel:r3452.
Tasks/bugs for each step can be found under
Version 1.4 pre1 (CS)
cel:milestone:"1.4RC1" (CEL)
See CS branch-specific changes, integrated revisions etc. at log:CS/branches/release/V1.4

Guidelines for 1.4 release branch
To make sure we have a stable 1.4 there will be a set of guidelines to follow whenever touching code in the 1.4 release branch. Follow these!
- Preferably no code should go directly into the 1.4 branch. Write it, debug it and commit it on the trunk, make sure it is tested and then integrate it. However sometimes it is too hard to test on the trunk especially when trunk evolved too far. In that case doing it the other way around is also acceptable.
- No new features, only bugfixes.
- Make sure code follows CS coding guidelines.
- Make sure that jam check builds cleanly and that all tests pass.
- Whenever you integrate a version from trunk to 1.4 branch, note it with date, time, revision and name in the list below. It might later be changed to be automatic, but for now this manual list is what we have.
See also the general guidelines for branch handling in [FuturePlanning].
Examining what needs to be merged
Easiest way is to compare log:CS/trunk with log:CS/branches/release/V1.4
Instructions on merging a specific changeset
To merge changeset N from main trunk to 1.4 follow this procedure:
- Get svnmerge.py script.
- Go to the local CS_1.4 directory.
- svnmerge.py merge -S trunk -r N
- svn commit -F svnmerge-commit-message.txt (that is, commit and use the auto-generated file as comment)
- Go mark in the relevant tickets which bugs are fixed by the merge.
To merge multiple revisions at once, ie. from trunk revisions N to M and revision Y:
- svnmerge.py merge -S trunk -r N-M,Y
Making a tag for the Release
svn copy https://crystal.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crystal/CS/branches/release/V1.4 https://crystal.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crystal/CS/tags/V1.4.1
Candidates for 1.4.1
Here is a list of revisions that are in trunk and might still need to be merged in 1.4 branch.

Questions
- Can we release binaries this time, since the conversion to shared libraries is complete?
