1. Where to update the version numbers:
There are several places in the wxWidgets source tree that
- define the version number for the library. When updating the
- version number all of these files must be edited:
+ define the version number for the library.
+ The script misc/scripts/inc_release can be used for incrementing the release
+ field of the version, i.e. changing 2.8.x to 2.8.x+1 but it does not take
+ care of version.bkl and can't be used for changing the other version
+ components, this needs to be done manually. It also doesn't update
+ version.bkl file which always needs to be updated manually, follow the
+ instructions there.
+
+ Here is the list of files that need to be updated:
+
+ build/bakefiles/version.bkl {C:R:A} [NOT UPDATED AUTOMATICALLY]
configure.in
*.spec
- include/wx/version.h
- include/msvc/wx/setup.h [only major.minor used here]
- samples/minimal/borland_ide.cpp
+ build/osx/wxvers.xcconfig
+ docs/changes.txt
+ docs/readme.txt (date needs manual editing) [NOT UPDATED AUTOMATICALLY]

+ samples/Info.plist
+ samples/docview/Info.plist
+ samples/minimal/Info_carbon.plist
+ samples/minimal/Info_cocoa.plist
+ samples/minimal/borland_ide.cpp {major release only}
- The script misc/scripts/inc_release can be used for incrementing
- the release field of the version, i.e. changing 2.8.x to 2.8.x+1.
+ Do not forget to rebake everything after updating version.bkl!
2. When to update the version numbers:
- [ To be written... ]
+ Version should be updated immediately after releasing the previous version
+ so that the sources in the repository always correspond to the next release
+ and not the past one.
- See tn0020.txt for now.
