Since we don't release all that often or consistently, we seem to forget some key steps in the process. Hence, a checklist!
On this page the term "release" refers to the final stable release tag and binaries.
Testing
The following apply for all supported platforms and architectures.
- Compile.
- Video playback of popular codecs. (xvid, h264, vc1, mpeg2)
- Audio playback of popular codecs. (mp3, aac(+), ogg, flac, , ac3, dts)
- Playback from popular sources. (local, dvd, smb, http)
- Scripts/plugins.
- Initialization of new settings and databases.
- Updating of settings and databases from the last stable release.
Pre-tag/branch
- Update version string:
- configure.in (see AC_INIT)
- tools/android/depends/configure.in (see AC_INIT)
- tools/android/packaging/xbmc/AndroidManifest.xml
- Bump android:versionCode="1" by one for each beta/rc/release
- Change android:versionName"12.0-BETA3" to match others
- xbmc/utils/GUIInfoManager.h
- tools/darwin/packaging/xbmc-ios/mkdeb-xbmc-ios.sh
- tools/darwin/packaging/xbmc-atv2/mkdeb-xbmc-atv2.sh
- xbmc/osx/Info.plist (there are two strings to change)
- xbmc/win32/XBMC_PC.rc
- Update any necessary changelogs, readmes, known_bugs
- Update XBMC Credits
See below the version bump updates undertaken for Frodo Beta 1:
Release
- scp binaries to sourceforge in staging folder. xbmc-x.yy-zz.*
- svn export tag and scp to sourceforge. Downloading the tarball from sourceforge tag WILL NOT WORK as it doesn't keep file attributes.
- move from staging to final location (using shell service)
- update links and analytics on xbmc.org/download
- add xbmc.org frontpage news item. tick 'Announcements' category also (for sidebar)
- Add trac version and set as default milestone.
- [WIN32] copy the file XBMC.pdb for the released binary to the team ftp server and name it accordingly (is this all we need for reading crash dumps?)
Post-release
- Update version string in xbmc/utils/GUIInfoManager.h to pre-[NextVersion].
- Remove blanked strings from strings.xml to liberate them for reuse.
