How to prepare a new release ---------------------------- . include/freetype/freetype.h: Update `FREETYPE_MAJOR`, `FREETYPE_MINOR`, and `FREETYPE_PATCH`. . Update version numbers in all files where necessary (for example, do a grep for both '2.10.4' and '2104' for release 2.10.4). . builds/unix/configure.raw: Update `version_info`. . docs/CHANGES: Document differences to last release. . README: Update. . docs/VERSIONS.TXT: Document changed `version_info`. . Update the 'dlg' submodule with git submodule foreach git pull origin master . Copy the submodule code with make copy_submodule and run make distclean && make devel && make make distclean && make devel && make multi make distclean && make devel CC=g++ && make CC=g++ ANSIFLAGS="" make distclean && make devel CC=g++ && make multi CC=g++ ANSIFLAGS="" sh autogen.sh make distclean && ./configure CC=g++ && make ANSIFLAGS="" to test compilation with both gcc and g++ (you might also add the `-j` flag to `make` for parallel compilation). Note that it is normally not necessary to test standard C compilation with the `configure`, `meson`, and `cmake` build tools since this is done by the CI process of 'gitlab.freedesktop.org' for every commit. . Test C++ compilation for 'freetype-demos' too; this needs a compiled FreeType library as described in the `README` file. make distclean && make make distclean && make CC=g++ ANSIFLAGS="" . Run `src/tools/chktrcmp.py` and check that there are no undefined `trace_XXXX` macros. . Update meson subproject files (for both the 'freetype' and 'freetype-demos' git repositories) with meson subprojects update . Test meson compilation (for both the 'freetype' and 'freetype-demos' git repositories) with meson setup builddir && meson compile -C builddir . Commit everything. . After pushing the new release, tag the git repositories ('freetype', 'freetype-demos') with git tag VER- -m "" -u and push the tags with git push --tags . Check with git clean -ndx that the git directory is really clean (and remove extraneous files if necessary). . Say `make dist` in both the 'freetype' and 'freetype-demos' repositories to generate the `.tar.gz`, `.tar.xz`, and `.zip` files. . Create the doc bundles (`freetype-doc-.tar.gz`, `freetype-doc-.tar.xz`, `ftdoc.zip`). This is everything in /freetype2/docs except the `reference` subdirectory. Do *not* use option `-l` from zip! . Run the following script (with updated `$VERSION`, `$SAVANNAH_USER`, and `$SOURCEFORGE_USER` variables) to sign and upload the bundles to both Savannah and SourceForge. The signing code has been taken from the `gnupload` script (part of the 'automake' bundle). #!/bin/sh VERSION=2.12.0 SAVANNAH_USER=wl SOURCEFORGE_USER=wlemb GPG_KEY_ID=BE6C3AAC63AD8E3F ##################################################################### GPG="/usr/bin/gpg --batch --no-tty --local-user $GPG_KEY_ID" version=`echo $VERSION | sed "s/\\.//g"` FREETYPE_PACKAGES="freetype-$VERSION.tar.gz \ freetype-$VERSION.tar.xz \ ft$version.zip" FT2DEMOS_PACKAGES="ft2demos-$VERSION.tar.gz \ ft2demos-$VERSION.tar.xz \ ftdmo$version.zip" FTDOC_PACKAGES="freetype-doc-$VERSION.tar.gz \ freetype-doc-$VERSION.tar.xz \ ftdoc$version.zip" PACKAGE_LIST="$FREETYPE_PACKAGES \ $FT2DEMOS_PACKAGES \ $FTDOC_PACKAGES" set -e unset passphrase PATH=/empty echo -n "Enter GPG passphrase: " stty -echo read -r passphrase stty echo echo for f in $PACKAGE_LIST; do if test ! -f $f; then echo "$0: Cannot find \`$f'" 1>&2 exit 1 else : fi done for f in $PACKAGE_LIST; do echo "Signing $f..." rm -f $f.sig echo $passphrase | $GPG --passphrase-fd 0 -ba -o $f.sig $f done FREETYPE_SIGNATURES= for i in $FREETYPE_PACKAGES; do FREETYPE_SIGNATURES="$FREETYPE_SIGNATURES $i.sig" done FT2DEMOS_SIGNATURES= for i in $FT2DEMOS_PACKAGES; do FT2DEMOS_SIGNATURES="$FT2DEMOS_SIGNATURES $i.sig" done FTDOC_SIGNATURES= for i in $FTDOC_PACKAGES; do FTDOC_SIGNATURES="$FTDOC_SIGNATURES $i.sig" done SIGNATURE_LIST="$FREETYPE_SIGNATURES \ $FT2DEMOS_SIGNATURES \ $FTDOC_SIGNATURES" scp $PACKAGE_LIST $SIGNATURE_LIST \ $SAVANNAH_USER@dl.sv.nongnu.org:/releases/freetype/ rsync -avP -e ssh $FREETYPE_PACKAGES $FREETYPE_SIGNATURES \ $SOURCEFORGE_USER,freetype@frs.sf.net:/home/frs/project/f/fr/freetype/freetype2/$VERSION/ rsync -avP -e ssh $FT2DEMOS_PACKAGES $FT2DEMOS_SIGNATURES \ $SOURCEFORGE_USER,freetype@frs.sf.net:/home/frs/project/f/fr/freetype/freetype-demos/$VERSION/ rsync -avP -e ssh $FTDOC_PACKAGES $FTDOC_SIGNATURES \ $SOURCEFORGE_USER,freetype@frs.sf.net:/home/frs/project/f/fr/freetype/freetype-docs/$VERSION/ # EOF .

Trigger the automatic generation of the online API reference by updating the `FT_VERSION` variable in file `.gitlab-ci.yml` of the 'freetype-web' repository. . Announce new release on 'freetype-announce@nongnu.org' and to relevant newsgroups. The text should include - SHA256 checksums of all files, - instructions how to verify the bundles using the `.sig` file data, - the PGP public key used to sign the archives. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (C) 2003-2023 by David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg.
