Sam Lantinga 4e98ba612b Set DYLIB_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION to DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION to match autotools
Autotools sets both versions to the same value, so Xcode and CMake need to match for the libraries to be compatible between the different builds.

Release checklist

New feature release

  • Update WhatsNew.txt

  • Bump version number to 2.EVEN.0 in all these locations:

    • configure.ac, CMakeLists.txt: SDL_*_VERSION
    • Xcode/SDL/Info-Framework.plist: CFBundleShortVersionString, CFBundleVersion
    • Makefile.os2: VERSION
    • Makefile.w32: *_VERSION
    • include/SDL_version.h: SDL_*_VERSION, SDL_PATCHLEVEL
    • src/main/windows/version.rc: FILEVERSION, PRODUCTVERSION, FileVersion, ProductVersion
  • Bump ABI version information

    • CMakeLists.txt, Xcode/SDL/SDL.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION, DYLIB_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION
      • set first number in DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION to (100 * minor) + 1
      • set second number in DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION to 0
      • set DYLIB_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION to the same value
  • Run test/versioning.sh to verify that everything is consistent

  • Regenerate configure

  • Do the release

New bugfix release

  • Check that no new API/ABI was added

    • If it was, do a new feature release (see above) instead
  • Bump version number from 2.Y.Z to 2.Y.(Z+1) (Y is even)

    • Same places as listed above
  • Bump ABI version information

    • CMakeLists.txt, Xcode/SDL/SDL.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION, DYLIB_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION
      • set second number in DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION to patchlevel
  • Run test/versioning.sh to verify that everything is consistent

  • Regenerate configure

  • Do the release

After a feature release

  • Create a branch like release-2.24.x

  • Bump version number to 2.ODD.0 for next development branch

    • Same places as listed above
  • Bump ABI version information

    • Same places as listed above
    • Assume that the next feature release will contain new API/ABI
  • Run test/versioning.sh to verify that everything is consistent

New development prerelease

  • Bump version number from 2.Y.Z to 2.Y.(Z+1) (Y is odd)

    • Same places as listed above
  • Bump ABI version information

    • CMakeLists.txt, Xcode/SDL/SDL.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION, DYLIB_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION
      • set first number in DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION to (100 * minor) + patchlevel + 1
      • set second number in DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION to 0
      • if backwards compatibility has been broken, increase DYLIB_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION (?)
  • Run test/versioning.sh to verify that everything is consistent

  • Regenerate configure

  • Do the release
