Also remove the part about updating version.bkl from the pre-release
section, as this is done after the release.
As this leaves only 2 items in the numbered list of the things to do,
remove the list entirely.
Document bakefile version needed and the commands for regenerating the
files generated by it.
Also update instructions for changing C:R:A values.
Closes https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/1838
This is now done automatically in the GitHub action of wxWidgets/website
repository.
Do mention that rebuilding the web site requires the release to be
available.
Mention that we use the legacy 0.2 bakefile branch.
Also use https://www.bakefile.org/ as Bakefile home page location.
Finally, use backticks around more files names, especially those
containing asterisks, that break Markdown syntax highlighting in Vim
otherwise.
Remove update steps for wxBlog (because it's redundant with the news
post on www.wxwidgets.org now that both are hosted at the same site),
Google+ (because of its extinction) and Buildbot (because we're going to
stop using it soon anyhow).
Add a step for updating the list of compilers used for building
binaries.
It makes more sense to update it manually once and then run the script
rather than partially updating it manually first, then updating it again
and then running the script.
This file was added in 4d524cdd0e a long
time ago but doesn't seem to have been ever actually used for anything
and is outdated, e.g. contains LSRequiresCarbon=true, which shouldn't be
used any longer.
Remove the file itself and all references to it.
Buildbot configuration was redone in pure Python (see master.cfg in
https://github.com/wxWidgets/buildbot repository) since several years
already, there is no need to keep these obsolete files.
For the release candidates, allow passing the version (e.g. "3.1.1-rc")
to post-release.sh on the command line and document this.
Also don't commit automatically, this is annoying, especially as the
script doesn't check for errors.
Finally, fix the problem with the CHM file name: it must be zipped,
presumably to avoid problems with some firewalls blocking downloading
CHM files (as there is really no advantage in compressing the already
compressed CHM file otherwise).
Use "git submodule foreach" to run "git archive" in all of the
submodules as well.
Also document the requirement to have GNU tar which is needed to be able
to successfully extract several concatenated tar archives.
Update dates in various files before the release automatically.
Also automatically update SHA-1 of the release files both before the
release (to zero them) and afterwards (to use the correct values).
Closes https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/443
Try to preserve most of the manual changes done to libtiff sources in
wxWidgets, dropping just some VC6-specific workarounds which are not
needed any more.
Drop the legacy CppUnit testing framework used for the unit tests.
Replacing it with Catch has the advantage of not requiring CppUnit
libraries to be installed on the system in order to be able to run
tests (Catch is header-only and a copy of it is now included in the
main repository itself) and, in the future, of being able to write
the tests in a much more natural way.
For now, however, avoid changing the existing tests code as much as
[reasonably] possible to avoid introducing bugs in them and provide
the CppUnit compatibility macros in the new wx/catch_cppunit.h header
which allow to preserve the 99% of the existing code unchanged. Some
of the required changes are:
- Decompose asserts using "a && b" conditions into multiple asserts
checking "a" and "b" independently. This would have been better
even with CppUnit (to know which part of condition exactly failed)
and is required with Catch.
- Use extra parentheses around such conditions when they can't be
easily decomposed in the arrays test, due to the use of macros.
This is not ideal from the point of view of messages given when
the tests fail but will do for now.
- Rewrite asserts using "a || b" as a combination of condition
checks and assert macros. Again, this is better anyhow, and is
required with Catch. Incidentally, this allowed to fix a bug in
the "exec" unit test which didn't leave enough time for the new
process to be launched before trying to kill it.
- Remove multiple CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_NAMED_REGISTRATION() macros,
our emulation of this macro can be used only once.
- Provide string conversions using Catch-specific StringMaker for
a couple of types.
- Replace custom wxImage comparison with a Catch-specific matcher
class.
- Remove most of test running logic from test.cpp, in particular don't
parse command line ourselves any longer but use Catch built-in
command line parser. This is a source of a minor regression:
previously, both "Foo" and "FooTestCase" could be used as the name of
the test to run, but now only the latter is accepted.
