Release guidelines

Libraries

Documentation

Preparing

• a release is prepared from the dev branch
• use the version tool to raise version number
• the 'APP_VERSION' flag in Build/CMakeLists.txt has to be raised with each release to create a new FaustLive-CurrentSession-XX cache folder
• create a tag (like 2.5.6-rc1) each time needed, and use the 2.5.6 tag for the final version

Building packages (obsolete since may 2023)

• on macOS, use Build/make
• on Windows (using Parallels VM):

be sure to synchronise the submodules (using "Submodule update" when synchronising with Tortoise Git).

in Build folder use Make.bat package win64 2017

Building packages (may 2023)
