Hey all, I'm working on putting together a list of significant updates for the 7.x series of releases. I'd like to include the date & revision # when each release went stable. Can someone help me figure out how to get that information from the git repo?
Thanks, ---- |

In general, release commits are done pretty consistently: Preparing for 7.x.y release Ready for 7.x.y+1 dev That makes git -S to be a good candidate for prescreening. |

The commit hash is shown in the blue box below. Through command line the easiest way is to just switch to the correct tag: git checkout v7.7.14 Git will tell you to which commit it switched together with the log message: martin@hopla:/data/WebGUI/lib/WebGUI$ git checkout v7.7.14 Previous HEAD position was 60b6620... re-adding necessary template HEAD is n ow at 49ce8d2... Preparing for 7.7.14 release. Sometimes the tag is placed wrong, but you'll see that when you checkout the tag. In that case running git log will point you to the correct commit. Mostly going through the web interface will be faster because going from eg. HEAD to 7.5.2 will require a lot of patching on the files in your file system by git. Which releases introduced the stable label you can probably find here: http://update.webgui.org/7.x.x/ Martin |

To find the information about a specific tag, you can use the show command.$ git show -s v7.9.5 commit 4969f31e1f76b5da10cf45991b49b0de3c4a5f95 Author: Colin Kuskie Date: Tue May 18 20:13:12 2010 -0700 Preparing for 7.9.5 release |

Thanks for all the input guys. I've started following your advice to figure out the dates which has brought up another question. How will I know when a release goes from beta to stable? For example, I'm currently trying to figure out when v7.0.x when stable.
Thanks again for the advice, ---- |

Several months back, when we were preparing for a multi-version upgrade, I started working on a grid of WebGUI versions vs. WRE versions because some combinations did not work well together. At a minimum, I wanted to see which versions of WRE were out at the time each WebGUI version was released. (Ideally, it would be nice to have a grid of which versions of WRE will work with which versions of WebGUI.) Unfortunately, I can no longer locate the spreadsheet in which I was compiling this information. If there is a way for you to also pull out WRE release information and line it up chronologically with the various WebGUI 7.x releases, that would be very helpful for people who need to upgrade through multiple major versions. If I ever relocate the spreadsheet I was working on, I'd be happy to start up a wiki page. |

Hi Dale, Actually, the goal of the revision review is to identify major updates between releases. The changelog has a lot of chatter from bugfixes and other minor improvements that get mixed in with the major improvements. I'm trying to see what big capabilities are added between releases. The release dates would be nice to know from a historical perspective but not urgent. I may just have to give the .0 revision date as it doesn't appear easy to find the stable release dates from version control logs. I'm not sure that my documentation will be helpful for your purposes.
William PS: Will you be at the WUC this year? ---- |

OK, it's Friday so give me some slack. I just realized that I'm making this harder than it needs to be ;). The file listing of downloads at http://update.webgui.org/7.x.x/ has the release dates along with when the release went stable. So simple!
