Devs: Create a new release
These are the steps currently required to publish a new binary release of ImagePlay for Windows and OS X.
Make sure changelog.md is up to date. It will be shown on github as well as in the fervor update dialog.
Compile the project in x64 release mode. Check if _bin/Release/x64/ImagePlay.exe runs without issues especially missing DLL.
Our goal is to deliver a single ZIP file which can be extracted and used as is. We include the needed DLLs for Qt, opencv, VC++ runtime, IPL, FreeImage. Also, make sure that you remove any remains of your tests such as logs or plugin_development files.
Zip folder as ImagePlay-{VERSION}.zip
Run
qmake-recursive
make
Check if _bin/Release/x64/ImagePlay.app runs without issues especially missing .dylib files.
Errors might need to be adressed using install_name_tool.
Create a DMG file which contains ImagePlay.app and a link to /Applications.
We use dmgCreator for this task.
Filename: ImagePlay-{VERSION}.dmg
Note that Qt's DMG creation tool produces unusable DMG.
Merge develop branch to master branch.
Use github to create a new release. https://github.com/cpvrlab/ImagePlay/releases
Create a new tag for the new version such as 6.1.0
Upload ImagePlay-{VERSION}.zip and ImagePlay-{VERSION}.dmg
Update index.html to reflect all changes and links to the previously uploaded github releases.
Direct download links are:
https://github.com/cpvrlab/ImagePlay/releases/download/{VERSION}/ImagePlay-{VERSION}.zip
https://github.com/cpvrlab/ImagePlay/releases/download/{VERSION}/ImagePlay-{VERSION}.dmg
Test if all links are working correctly. The final step is to update Appcast.xml which will then be used to notify existing users to download the new version.
