Jogamp Versioning and Releases

Semantic Version Numbers

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

• MAJOR version indicates major incompatible API changes,
• MINOR version indicates minor incompatible API changes, and
• PATCH version indicates backwards-compatible bug fixes or added backwards-compatible functionality, i.e. these versions are binary compatible and a drop-in replacement.

Above semantics describe binary compatibility, i.e. whether a new version can be used without recompilation (PATCH increment only).

Above semantics differ from Semantic Versioning since our MINOR change allows minor incompatible API changes.

An example of a MAJOR incompatible API increment is JOGL 1.y.z -> 2.y.z, where we thoroughly change the OO model, packaging, implementation or overall semantics.

Upgrading to a MINOR incompatible API increment of JogAmp shall assure users that the model has not changed and the differences are indeed minor.

Hence a PATCH increment not only allows bugfixes but also additional functionality, both backwards-compatible.

Note that manual test results showed that none of our 2.1 PATCH incrementing releases were satisfying above semantics and hence incompatibilities could appear. While this might be unlikely, the tests exposed at least removed protected fields or methods at some uncommon places and hence compatibility was broken.

From version 2.2.0 on, we incorporate semver in our JogAmp junit tests to guarantee automated validation and proper version increments.

See Bug 1008.

Release Classification

Releases follow the above mentioned versioning scheme.

The following list is ordered from stable and oldest to experimental and newest.

Signed Release

• This is our current signed release, IE a manual promoted and signed autobuild.
• It is suitable for JNLP and Applets (with or without JNLP).
• This is the most stable and recommended version.
• Archive folder containing platform ZIP files for manual installation.
• this section
• See instructions for downloading and installing.

Signed Release Candidate

• This is our signed release candidate, IE a manual promoted and signed autobuild.
• It is suitable for JNLP and Applets (with or without JNLP).
• Platform ZIP archive's URL for manual installation.
• Archive folder containing platform ZIP files for manual installation.
• See instructions for downloading and installing.

Signed Release Specific Version

• This is a specific signed release, IE a manual promoted autobuild.
• It is suitable for JNLP and Applets (with or without JNLP).
• Archive folder containing platform ZIP files for manual installation.
• See instructions for downloading and installing.

Latest Aggregated Autobuild

• This is our latest aggregated autobuild, which we seem fit for broad testing and submitting a bugreport.
• It is not signed and hence not suitable for JNLP and Applets.
• See instructions for downloading and installing.

Autobuilds

What others call nightlies, we call it autobuild. Autobuilds are provided by our Jenkins build server:

• For each project build reports are available:
  • Last Successful JOGL Build
  • JOGL Build 476
• They are triggered by git commits
• Here is a list of all JOGL changes.
• These builds are also tested on all supported platforms automatically with junit, see a complete test report from one platform.
• Autobuild URL containing platform ZIP files for manual installation.

Archived builds

• Contains archived builds and releases.
• May be signed.
• archive URL containing platform ZIP files for manual installation.

Version Classification

Version Fingerprint

You can get the get the source code via git, hence all references of a JogAmp module version boils down to:

• module base version
• git commit sha1 hash
• build number
• module OS and ARCH

We construct a full version string as follows:

   <module>-<base_version>-b<build_number>-<yyyymmdd>

artifact.properties

The version fingerprint is available in the artifact.properties file:

gluegen.build.branch=origin/master
gluegen.build.commit=3fec08a69de571cf2939e6028487faea8a23ccaa
gluegen.build.id=2013-11-01_05-57-23
gluegen.build.number=741
gluegen.build.version=2.1.2
jogl.build.branch=origin/master
jogl.build.commit=3ed74abaddb90cb537897b9928e923be50f7f99f
jogl.build.id=2013-11-01_19-08-47
jogl.build.number=1135
jogl.build.version=2.1.2

We deploy artifacts.properties in the online build folder and within the platform ZIP archives.

JAR Manifest

The version fingerprint is also included within each JAR Manifest file, where the Specification-Version equals the module base version and the Implementation-Version equals the above mentioned full version string

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.8.2
Created-By: 1.7.0_45-b18 (Oracle Corporation)
Application-Name: Java Bindings for OpenGL
Specification-Title: Java Bindings for OpenGL API Specification
Specification-Version: 2.1
Specification-Vendor: JogAmp Community
Implementation-Title: Java Bindings for OpenGL Runtime Environment
Implementation-Version: 2.1.2
Implementation-Build: 2.1-b1135-20131101
Implementation-Branch: origin/master
Implementation-Commit: 3ed74abaddb90cb537897b9928e923be50f7f99f
Implementation-Vendor: JogAmp Community
Implementation-URL: http://jogamp.org/
Extension-Name: javax.media.opengl
Implementation-Vendor-Id: com.jogamp
Trusted-Library: true
Permissions: all-permissions
Codebase: *.jogamp.org

Each module has also a base version, like major and minor, ie 2.0, which we may change to emphasize major feature and API changes.

Runtime Version Check

Each module has a build in JogampVersion specialization with a static getInstance() method to access the singleton instance, eg. for the GlueGenVersion or JoglVersion. You may utilize the version information from within your application in a programmatic manner. For the latter you may find the Platform information useful as well.

Each module's JogampVersion specialization also contain a static main entry allowing you to retrieve the version information at runtime as described below.

When invoked, ie via JOGL's platform ZIP file:

• sh etc/test.sh (Unixoid), or
• etc\test.bat (Windows)

you will see the full dump of the runtime platform and the above mentioned version footprint.

Autobuild Files

Autobuild Platform ZIP files for each module follow the versioning scheme plus contain the platform identifier OS and ARCH:

   
   jogl-2.0-b210-20101110-linux-amd64.zip

Release and Archived Files

The release archive folder contains 7z archive files for each platform containing all modules, ie. jogamp-linux-os.and.arch.7z. The os.and.arch refers to the native file naming convention.

For example:

• jogamp-linux-amd64.7z
• jogamp-linux-i586.7z
• jogamp-windows-amd64.7z
• jogamp-windows-i586.7z

The folder also contains the Java API document ZIP files:

• gluegen-javadoc.zip
• jogl-javadoc.zip
• jocl-javadoc.zip
• joal-javadoc.zip
