Braindump Versions, Release Notes, and the Road Ahead
I have been playing with a couple different methods of versioning and release notes with Braindump. I used to do all release notes in GitHub. GitHub “Releases” are nothing more than git tags with some additional meta-data and after talking to eric one day I agree that locking myself into GitHub specific tags is not the best idea. Then I started to add release notes on my blog and just link to it from the GitHub tag, this worked ok but you may have noticed that I blogged about version 0.3.0 yesterday and then released versions 0.3.1, 0.3.2, 0.3.3, and 0.3.4 today. I think I finally came up with a solution that makes the most sense to me.
Braindump is using semver, so the scheme is MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. So going forward, I will create release notes only for MAJOR and MINOR versions.
With the new Docker deployments I am creating two types of containers.
latestwhich refers to the latest commit on masterstablewhich refers to the latest git tag
Braindump.pw will always be running the latest patch version, or stable. I hope this new methodology will provide some better structure and clarity for this project.
