Releases

Release numbering scheme
------------------------
Invenio stable releases use the classical major.minor.patchlevel
release version numbering scheme that is commonly used in the
GNU/Linux world and elsewhere. Each release is labelled by::
major.minor.patchlevel
release version number. For example, a release version 4.0.1 means::
4 - 4th major version, i.e. the whole system has been already
4th times either fully rewritten or at least in its very
essential components. The upgrade from one major version
to another may be rather hard, may require new prerequisite
technologies, full data dump, reload and reindexing, as
well as other major configuration adapatations, possibly
with an important manual intervention.
0 - 0th minor version, i.e. the first minor release of the 4th
major rewrite. (Increments go usually 4.1, 4.2, ... 4.9,
4.10, 4.11, 4.12, ... until some important rewrite is done,
e.g. the database philosophy dramatically changes, leading
to a non-trivial upgrade, and then we have either higher
4.x in the series or directly 5.0.0.) The upgrade from one
minor version to another may be laborious but is relatively
painless, in that some table changes and data manipulations
may be necessary but they are somewhat smaller in nature,
easier to grasp, and possibly done by a fully automated
script.
1 - 1st patch level release to 4.0 series, fixing bugs in 4.0.0
but not adding any substantially new functionality. That
is, the only new functionality that is added is that of a
bug fix nature. The upgrade from one patch level to
another is usually very straightforward.
(Packages often seem to break this last rule, e.g. Linux
kernel adopting new important functionality (such as
ReiserFS) within the stable 2.4.x branch. It can be easily
seen that it is somewhat subjective to judge what is
qualitatively more like a minor new functionality and what
is more like a patch to the existing behaviour. We have
tried to distinguish this with respect to whether the table
structure and/or the technology change require small or
large upgrade jobs and eventual manual efforts.)
So, if we have a version 4.3.0, a bug fix would mean to release 4.3.1,
some minor new functionality and upgrade would mean to release 4.4.0,
some important database structure rewrite or an imaginary exchange of
Python for Common Lisp would mean to release 5.0.0, etc.
We follow `semantic versioning <http://semver.org/>`_ and `PEP-0440
<https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/>`_ release numbering practices.
Invenio v3.x
------------
*Not released yet; however a developer preview is available on GitHub.*
Invenio v3.0 will be released when the Invenio code base is fully split into a
set of standalone independent Python packages. *(ETA: Q1/2016)*
Invenio v2.x
------------
*Semi-stable codebase.*
Invenio v2.x code base is our new code base architecture that uses Flask web
development framework. The most important modules take fully profit from the new
architecture (e.g. search, deposit), however some modules still rely on previous
v1.x legacy code base (e.g. baskets). Therefore its production suitability
depends on your use case.
