Definition of Done for Simantics Platform Releases

The simantics/platform and simantics/third-party Git repositories have a branch release/x.y.z[.w] and tag x.y.z[.w].
All Git repositories that are part of the Simantics release train have a branch called release/x.y.z[.w] and tag called x.y.z[.w].
A change log entry is compiled from the issues in this release and made available to the general public separately for the platform and for the open products included in the release train.
Roadmap is up-to-date.
Tutorials are up-to-date and coherent with the platform.

Released Plug-in Components and Products

There are both plug-in components and products that are part of the Simantics Release Train that shall be released simultaneously to a major or minor Simantics release.

Plug-in components are installable features that are deployed online as P2 repositories for general availability. Products are deployed as ZIP files and made available online in designated locations on simantics.org.

Core components of the release train:

External third party library dependencies required by the platform - simantics/third-party.git
The Simantics Platform - simantics/platform.git

Plug-in components that are part of the release train:

Simupedia - members/simupedia.git

Simantics Platform Release - Step by Step

Create release branch from selected commit

When release stabilisation starts, branch simantics/platform and simantics/third-party repositories:

When release stabilisation starts, branch all relevant repositories like this:

git clone ssh://<user>@www.simantics.org:29418/simantics/platform.git
 cd platform
 git branch release/x.y.z[.w] <commit>
 git push origin release/x.y.z[.w]
-
-git clone ssh://<user>@www.simantics.org:29418/simantics/third-party.git
-cd third-party
-git branch release/x.y.z[.w] <commit>
-git push origin release/x.y.z[.w]

When creating major/minor releases <commit> is usually a commit in the master branch. With service releases, branch from an existing release/* branch instead.

Use of the included release-helper.sh shell script is highly encouraged to perform this mechanical work. The script supports many useful basic git commands which all perform the requested operation on all the release train repositories. The operations can be seen from the help text printed by the script when given no arguments:

Usage: release-helper.sh <version> <branch-name> <user-name> clone|branch|checkout|fetch|list-tags|pull|push|push-tags|remove-tag|status|tag
+

First, begin by cloning all the repositories:

./release-helper.sh x.y.z release/x.y.z your-git-username clone
+

This will create a directory called x.y.z under the current working directory and clone all the repositories under it.

Branching and pushing the branches to remote happens as follows:

./release-helper.sh x.y.z release/x.y.z your-git-username branch
+./release-helper.sh x.y.z release/x.y.z your-git-username push
+

Prepare release branch for use

In release 1.31.0 Simantics started using uses the wonderful tool from Obeo (https://github.com/mbarbero/fr.obeo.releng.targetplatform) to generate .target files from .tpd files which allow much simpler specification of the target contents and also composition of .tpd files via inclusion.

In the following steps, it is recommended to ensure every .target file is up-to-date by regenerating them from .tpd files. While doing so, take care to use up-to-date online contents to perform the generation.

An example of these changes can be seen in gitweb.

An example of these changes can be seen in gitweb or review 1361.

Ensure that Redmine has a release engineering issue for the branched release, such as Simantics 1.30.0 release engineering. Make a copy of the previous release issue to create the new one. Include link to original issue while copying.
