Feature freeze

Usually ~1 month before release.

Prerequisites

  • Update modules documentation link in help section (loadable, scripted and cli)
    • And some html links in Welcome module (Modules/Loadable/SlicerWelcome/Resources/HTML)
    • Update CLI XML description files

Commit message: Update Documentation to X.Y

For example: r22407

Release-candidate

Since there all development occurs on master, each time version is updated, two commits will be required.

<RC> corresponds to the release candidate number. It is greater or equal to one.

  1. Update the Slicer version information for the release candidate:

    1. In CMakeLists.txt, uncomment and set:

      • Slicer_VERSION_TWEAK to 0
      • Slicer_VERSION_RC to <RC>

      ...and if this is the first release candidate, update at least one these variables: Slicer_VERSION_MAJOR, Slicer_VERSION_MINOR, Slicer_VERSION_PATCH

    2. Re-run CMake in order to update Utilities/Scripts/SlicerWizard/__version__.py.

    3. Commit the above changes using this message:

      ENH: Slicer X.Y.Z-rc<RC>
  2. Generate packages based on REVISION associated with step 1.

  3. Update the Slicer version information for the development:

    1. In CMakeLists.txt, comment Slicer_VERSION_TWEAK so that the next builds will contain the date associated with the last commit.
    2. Re-run CMake in order to update Utilities/Scripts/SlicerWizard/__version__.py.

    3. Commit the above changes using this message:

      ENH: Begin post-X.Y.Z-rc<RC> development

Release

Since there all development occurs on master, each time version is updated, two commits will be required.

  1. Update the Slicer version information for the release:

    1. In CMakeLists.txt, uncomment and set Slicer_VERSION_TWEAK to 0

      ...and if this no release candidate has been made, update at least one these variables: Slicer_VERSION_MAJOR, Slicer_VERSION_MINOR, Slicer_VERSION_PATCH

    2. Re-run CMake in order to update Utilities/Scripts/SlicerWizard/__version__.py.

    3. Commit the above changes using this message:

      ENH: Slicer X.Y.Z
  2. Generate packages based on REVISION associated with step 1.

  3. Tag the repository:

    svn copy -r<REVISION> http://svn.slicer.org/Slicer4/trunk  \
     http://svn.slicer.org/Slicer4/tags/Slicer-X-Y  \
    -m "ENH: Tag of X.Y.Z release based on r<REVISION>."

  4. Update the Slicer version information for the development:

    1. In CMakeLists.txt, comment and set:

      • Slicer_VERSION_TWEAK to 0 so that the next builds will contain the date associated with the last commit.
      • Slicer_VERSION_RC to 0
    2. Re-run CMake in order to update Utilities/Scripts/SlicerWizard/__version__.py.

    3. Commit the above changes using this message:

      ENH: Begin post-X.Y.Z development

Post release

Create a release branch

svn copy -r <REVISION> http://svn.slicer.org/Slicer4/trunk http://svn.slicer.org/Slicer4/branches/Slicer-X-Y \
 -m "ENH: Branching from trunk to Slicer-X-Y at <REVISION>"



 svn checkout http://svn.slicer.org/Slicer4/branches/Slicer-X-Y

Generate ChangeLog

Update Mantis

  • "Release" current target
  • Create new target
  • Check the "fixed in" fields

Midas

Tag release packages

  • If needed, create a X.Y.Z folder in Slicer/Packages/Application/Release
    • Copy uploaded packages into the folder created above
    • Identify the item_id associated with uploaded packages. For example: 11926, 11925, 11927, 11992
    • SSH connect to jcfr@slicer.kitwarein.com
    • Connect to mysql using mysql -u midas -p
      • See file /var/www/midas3/core/configs/database.local.ini for password
      • Choose midas database: use midas
    • List packages associated with identified items and check they are the appropriate ones:
      • select * from slicerpackages_package as p , item as i where i.item_id = p.item_id and p.item_id in (11926, 11925, 11927, 11992);
    • Set release field
      • update slicerpackages_package set `release`="4.2.2-1" where item_id in (11926, 11925, 11927, 11992);

Version NA-MIC data tree

  1. Create an account on the extension server and obtain an API Key. You will then use your midas login and api key to substitute <YOUR-MIDAS-LOGIN> and <YOUR-MIDAS-APIKEY> in the examples.

  2. If not already done, go to NA-MIC community and click on Join community

  3. Send an email on the developer list asking to be added to the DataManager group on NA-MIC community. That will grant you read/write permissions to the Data folder and sub-folders.

  4. Install prerequisites

    $ sudo pip install pydas

  5. Identify id of the Data folder. For example 301

  6. Simulate creation of X.Y data folders based Nightly ones

    $ cd /path/to/Slicer/Base/Python/slicer/release
$ python midasdata.py --url=http://slicer.kitware.com/midas3 --data_id=301 \
  --email=<YOUR-MIDAS-LOGIN> --apikey=<YOUR-MIDAS-APIKEY> --source_version=Nightly --dest_version=X.Y --dry-run
Application ( folder_id: 302 )
'-Nightly ( folder_id: 831 )
'-'-Testing ( folder_id: 832 )
'-'-'-Baseline ( folder_id: 889 )
'-'-'-'-DiffusionTensorImagingTutorial.png ( item_id: 12067 )
'-'-'-'-NeurosurgicalPlanningTutorial.png ( item_id: 12066 )
'-'-'-'-SlicerTestingTest.png ( item_id: 17760 )
'-'-'-Input ( folder_id: 833 )
'-'-'-'-AtlasTests ( folder_id: 834 )
'-'-'-'-'-2012-10-26-BrainAtlas.mrb ( item_id: 10276 )
[...]
Module: VotingBinaryHoleFillingImageFilter ( folder_id: 1491 )
'-Nightly ( folder_id: 1491 )
'-'-Testing ( folder_id: 1492 )
'-'-'-Baseline ( folder_id: 1493 )
'-'-'-'-VotingBinaryHoleFillingImageFilterTest.nhdr ( item_id: 103418 )
'-'-'-'-VotingBinaryHoleFillingImageFilterTest.raw.gz ( item_id: 103419 )

  7. Create X.Y data tree based Nightly ones

    $ python midasdata.py --url=http://slicer.kitware.com/midas3 --data_id=301 \
  --email=<YOUR-MIDAS-LOGIN> --apikey=<YOUR-MIDAS-APIKEY> --source_version=Nightly --dest_version=X.Y

Update Slicer wiki

The copy of the pages associated with the Nightly namespace into the X.Y namespace is done using the convenience python module mwdoc.

  1. Check with <email>jchris.fillionr@kitware.com</email> to get the credential associated with UpdateBot user.

  2. Copy Nightly pages into X.Y pages.

    $ cd ~/Projects

$ sudo pip install mwclient==0.6.5

$ git clone git://github.com/jcfr/mwdoc

$ cd mwdoc

$ python

>>> import mwdoc
>>> doc = mwdoc.Documentation('slicer.org', '/wiki/')
>>> doc.login('UpdateBot', 'XXXXXXX')
>>> doc.versionPages('Nightly', '4.3', ['Documentation', 'Template:Documentation'])
[INFO] Page successfully created: 'Documentation/4.3/Extensions/ErodeDilateLabel'

[INFO] Page successfully created: 'Template:Documentation/4.3/module-section'
[INFO] Page successfully created: 'Template:Documentation/4.3/module/footer'

  3. Update Template:Documentation/nextversion

CDash

  1. Create new CDash groups for extension submissions associated with X.Y release:

    Extensions-X.Y-Nightly

Update external website

Tag associated projects

  • Slicer/SlicerExecutionModel
  • Slicer/VTK
  • Slicer/ITK
  • commontk/CTK ?
  • commontk/PythonQt ?

Backport commit into release branch

The following steps will lead to the creation of new git-svn clone having two branches:

  • git-svn
  • git-svn-XY

Reference: http://www.dmo.ca/blog/20070608113513/

Step 1: Checkout sources

git clone git://github.com/Slicer/Slicer.git Slicer-X.Y
cd Slicer-X.Y
git svn init http://svn.slicer.org/Slicer4/trunk
git update-ref refs/remotes/git-svn refs/remotes/origin/master
git checkout master
git svn rebase

Step 2: Add release branch remote

Edit .git/config, and in addition to the existing 'git-svn' remote, add the following one: 

[svn-remote "svn-XY"]
   url = http://svn.slicer.org/Slicer4/branches/Slicer-X-Y
   fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn-XY

Step 3: Pull associated SVN branch

git svn fetch svn-XY
git checkout -b master-XY git-svn-XY

Step 4: Backport

We can now cherry pick commit associated with master (trunk) into master-XY (Slicer-X-Y)

Step 5: Create a patch release
