eXist-db 5.0.0-RC7

v5.0.0-RC7 - March 2, 2019

eXist-db 5.0.0-RC7 is a hotfix release. Unfortunately the code restructuring performed in v5.0.0-RC6 caused failures in the Java Service Wrapper. This will especially impact Windows users, who typically start and stop eXist-db as a service. Using a service is the only way on Windows to ensure eXist-db is properly stopped on system shutdown. We thus consider this critical and published a hotfix.

Bug Fixes

• fix classpath for yajsw Java service wrapper
• fix jnlp webstart for Java admin client
• fix test failures depending on github location
• small fix to util:log functions to output string values without leading and closing quote

eXist Versioning Scheme and Release Process

Overview

This document describes the Versioning Scheme and Release Process for eXist. These two topics are tightly connected, so both are covered in this document.

• The Versioning Scheme describes how eXist's source code and releases are named. Version numbers unambiguously inform users and developers about the significance of the release and order relative to past and future versions.

• The Release Process describes how the Release Manager (the person who orchestrates a release) should take a snapshot (tag) of eXist source code, apply the Versioning Scheme, assemble it, and publish the resulting products. The goal is to have a clear procedure for altering the version number to mark transitions in phases of development leading up to each release, and to ensure that releases are consistently sourced from a specific point in the project repository's history.

The final section of the document describes the old versioning practice, compared to the new one.

Motivation

This proposal is intended to facilitate more rapid releases, with the goal of getting new features and bug fixes out to the community without sacrificing quality or stability. Critical to the success of this effort is achieving a common understanding about version numbers and managing version changes during releases.

Problems with versioning crept in during the long development phase of eXist 3.0, when eXist's version-related properties (as recorded in the $EXIST_HOME/build.properties file) diverged, and as a result, the community struggled with having two ways of talking about eXist's version, e.g., the public label, 3.0.RC2, and the numeric version, 3.0.3.

This proposal was first implemented with eXist 3.1.0, which inaugurated the use of a single version number for all versions of eXist. The document has been refined and expanded since then.

The new versioning scheme uses the popular Semantic Versioning scheme, in which each number here reflects major, minor, and patch versions. This single version-related property will bring clarity and semantic precision to eXist's releases. The Semantic Versioning scheme allows the eXist team to label development versions as snapshots or release candidates, and to release these and nightly builds with clear version numbers.

Paired with a revised set of release procedures, the new versioning scheme ensures the names of new versions of eXist delivered to the community are precise and reliable. Removing versioning ambiguities and clarifying release practices facilitates a rapid cycle of development and release.

Versioning Scheme

eXist follows a widely-used, semantically precise versioning scheme called Semantic Versioning (specifically version 2.0.0) of this scheme. For a complete introduction to Semantic Versioning, please consult the documentation. Here, we summarize how the principles of Semantic Versioning are applied to eXist.

Product Releases

For product releases (also called stable or final releases), a 3-component Semantic Versioning version number is used: "MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH". When a new version is released, its version number is incremented according to the following criteria:

1. MAJOR versions contain incompatible API changes, including changes to the on-disk format of the database;
2. MINOR versions add functionality or deprecate API functions, without breaking backward compatibility; and
3. PATCH versions contain only backwards-compatible bug fixes.

(Any public or protected methods at public or protected classes are eXist-db API)

For example, the 3rd major version of eXist would have the Semantic Version number 3.0.0. A new release following this including new features would be version 3.1.0. A bugfix-only release following that would be version 3.1.1.

NOTE: For the purposes of this present document, we do not define the scope of an API for eXist. This may be defined in a future standalone document.

Pre-Releases

For pre-releases, such as release candidates or snapshots, a 4-component Semantic Versioning version number is used: "MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-PRERELEASE. We follow Semantic Versioning's definitions for the PRERELEASE label scheme:

• PRERELEASE is a series of dot separated identifiers, each identifier must use only the following ASCII characters [0-9A-Za-z-] and must not be empty.

• The presence of PRERELEASE indicates that the version is pre-release and not yet considered stable. Product releases do not have PRERELEASE.
