gLabels Branching Model
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
### Would you like to build and package gLabels for a particular platform?
|
||||
|
||||
At any time gLabels will typically have 2 active branches: a stable branch and a development branch (master). Other branches may also exist to work on major features.
|
||||
* [Let's talk](https://github.com/jimevins/glabels-qt/issues/new).
|
||||
|
||||
* Help is needed in building and packaging for
|
||||
- Windows
|
||||
- Mac
|
||||
- Linux (flatpak)
|
||||
- Linux (snap)
|
||||
|
||||
* Ideally, such builds can be integrated into the current CMake/CPack build system and automated using a CI service.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Stable branch
|
||||
|
||||
A stable branch will maintained in a git branch named glabels-major.minor.
|
||||
E.g. "glabels-4.0". Some characteristics of a stable branch are
|
||||
|
||||
- Prerequisites are fixed for the lifetime of the branch.
|
||||
- The primary purpose of releases within a branch is to fix bugs.
|
||||
- Besides bug fixes, releases may also include new and updated translations,
|
||||
updated documentation, and new label templates.
|
||||
- No new features will be introduced by a release within a
|
||||
stable branch.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Unstable/development branch
|
||||
|
||||
The current development branch is maintained in the Git master branch.
|
||||
Some characteristics of the development branch are
|
||||
|
||||
- Prerequisites are volatile and may change over time.
|
||||
- Features and file formats may be volatile and change over time.
|
||||
- No attempt will be made to maintain backwards compatibility between commits
|
||||
- Every effort will be made to make sure the development branch will build and run without error.
|
||||
- There will be no official unstable releases based on this branch. However, CI snapshots may be made available.
|
||||
|
||||
### Major feature branches
|
||||
|
||||
Major features that could risk breaking the development branch will be developed in their own branches.

gLabels Version numbering
|
||||
-------------------------
|

* Versions are numbered major.minor.micro (e.g. 4.0.3)
|

* major version indicates a major change in architecture or technology
|

|
||||
- 3.x.x was based on gtk+-3
|

- 4.x.x is based on qt-5
|
||||
* minor version indicates a minor change in features or design
|
||||
- A new stable branch will be created for each new minor version
|
||||
* micro version indicates a bugfix release

||||
========================================
|
||||
|
||||
Add "User Variables" feature
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Add page to MainWindow to
|
||||
- Define variables
|
||||
- Set their initial values
|
||||
- Control how they might increment (per item instance, per item copy, per page)
|
||||
|
||||
* Save as part of glabels project file
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Add support for arbitrary label shapes
|
||||
--------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* I.e. similar to an SVG path.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Add support for "Continuous Roll" labels
|
||||
----------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* If product template is for a continuous roll, define a mininum and default length
|
||||
- This determines h and dy
|
||||
|
||||
* Add option to Properties page to adjust this value
|
||||

||||
|
||||
Write help documentation
