Jogamp Versioning and Releases

Releases

2.0-rc3, 2.0-rc2, 2.0-rc1

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.

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.

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.

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.number=200
gluegen.build.id=2010-11-09_22-30-24
gluegen.build.branch=master
gluegen.build.commit=92e1e8b24d128e08f13b05bd630ad7b0bf1cbf9f
jogl.build.number=209
jogl.build.id=2010-11-09_22-35-00
jogl.build.branch=master
jogl.build.commit=4ea473a2cbf59fcbd8e82d26da389cd8c2b4a291

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 1.8.0
Created-By: 1.6.0_21-b06 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Specification-Title: Java Bindings for OpenGL API Specification
Specification-Version: 2.0
Specification-Vendor: JogAmp community
Implementation-Title: Java Bindings for OpenGL Runtime Environment
Implementation-Version: 2.0-b209-20101110
Implementation-Branch: master
Implementation-Commit: 4ea473a2cbf59fcbd8e82d26da389cd8c2b4a291
Implementation-Vendor: JogAmp community
Extension-Name: javax.media.opengl
Implementation-Vendor-Id: com.jogamp
Trusted-Library: true

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:

• 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.

JOGL Platform: Linux 2.6.35.7-x86_64-k10-x8-risa (os), amd64 (arch)
JOGL Platform: littleEndian true, 32Bit false, a-ptr bit-size 64
JOGL Platform: Java 1.6.0_21, Sun Microsystems Inc., http://java.sun.com/, is JavaSE: true

JOGL package javax.media.opengl
JOGL Implementation-Title = Java Bindings for OpenGL Runtime Environment
JOGL Implementation-Version = 2.0-b211-20101110
JOGL Specification-Vendor = JogAmp Community
JOGL Manifest-Version = 1.0
JOGL Created-By = 1.6.0_21-b06 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
JOGL Implementation-Vendor = JogAmp Community
JOGL Implementation-Commit = 0893339854e3f4a4fab7b19e073304973e763b10
JOGL Ant-Version = Apache Ant 1.8.0
JOGL Implementation-Vendor-Id = com.jogamp
JOGL Trusted-Library = true
JOGL Specification-Title = Java Bindings for OpenGL API Specification
JOGL Implementation-Branch = master
JOGL Specification-Version = 2.0
JOGL Extension-Name = javax.media.opengl

The dump is hold in the file

test.log

,

which you should send to us in case of a bugreport.

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
