History and Versioning

In Keyman 14.0, history and versioning is controlled as part of the build process, and unified. We no longer have a separate version or history for each project. The controlling version number is in /VERSION.md and the master history is in /HISTORY.md.

While there may be multiple versions of HISTORY.md in different branches, the master branch is source of truth and is the version that is published to the website.

VERSION.md

The version shown in VERSION.md is the upcoming release version. This means:

  1. A snapshot of the repository will show the changes relevant to that version
  2. The build system will simply use that version number when building.
  3. If a release does not exist for the version shown, then you are at the bleeding edge.

TIER.md

The release tier is updated in TIER.md.

How history and version are updated

For Alpha versions (master), the version number is incremented at the end of a successful Nightly build. This means that during a single day, there may be multiple builds with the same version number. Only the last one of these is kept.

A similar process will be followed for Beta versions.

For Stable versions, the version number should be manually incremented in a pull request (these are much rarer).

History format

## <version> <tier> <yyyy-mm-dd>

* <type> [(<scope>[/<sub-scope>])]: <message> [(#<PR>)]

For example:

## 16.0.98 beta 2022-11-08

* chore(developer): tidy up compile hints (#7633)
