Copy the following template when creating a new version entry:

Development (master)

  • New Features:

  • Upgrade Steps:

    • The configuration values for setting the dataset root and api key have moved from the flavor config.yml file into the settings module. If your config.yml file contained the following:

      dataset: user-name/dataset-name
      api_root: http://api.shareabouts.org/api/v1/
      dataset_api_key: abcd1234
      

      You would now delete those values from the config file, and instead, in your local_settings.py file include the following:

      SHAREABOUTS = {
          'FLAVOR': 'flavor_name',
          'DATASET_ROOT': 'http://api.shareabouts.org/api/v1/datasets/user-name/dataset-name/'
          'DATASET_KEY': 'abcd1234',
      }
      

      NOTE that the SHAREABOUTS_FLAVOR variable also moved in here as the FLAVOR attribute.

      The format of the dataset root URL will usually be:

      'http://<hostname>/api/v1/datasets/<username>/<dataset>/'
      
    • If you have a Shareabouts client deployed on DOTCLOUD, you will need to update your environment variables as follows:

      • SHAREABOUTS_FLAVOR stays the same
      • SHAREABOUTS_API_KEY becomes SHAREABOUTS_DATASET_KEY
      • SHAREABOUTS_API_ROOT becomes SHAREABOUTS_DATASET_ROOT, and should use the format above.

2.0.0

  • Started keeping versions

What the version numbers mean

We use this version scheme: 2.M.m-i

We'll be on 2 for a while, so we'll consider the 2nd number the major version. The major version changes when we introduce code that requires users to change their code to keep it working (backwards-incompatible change). The minor number may change when we add a significant feature. If a change will not break existing users' instances, but they may make a change to take advantage of some new functionality, the minor version should be bumped.

The incremental version will usually not change, though may be useful for support purposes. It may be a letter or a number or a datetime stamp. We'll figure that out when we have a use for it.

What version am I on

Whichever version number heading is at the top of this file is the current version of this project.

When to mark a version

Any time we introduce a new feature, or make a change in a current feature, we should mark a new version. Each version should correspond to a tag in the git repository.

How to mark a new version

  1. Update this file. Whatever's under the heading 'Development (master)' will now be under a new heading corresponding to the new version number.
  2. Commit this file, and create a tag labeled with the version number.
  3. Add a new 'Development (master)' section for recording ongoing changes.
