This project uses Buf to build protobuf files. In order to install Buf, refer to their installation docs.

A makefile is provided to build files. Running make generates code for all the languages we currently support.

The following commands are available to build files for specific languages.

buf generate --template buf.gen.go.yaml

buf generate --template buf.gen.cpp.yaml

buf generate --template buf.gen.ts.yaml

See the contributing guide for detailed instructions on how to get started with our development workflow.

The Gazebo API project uses Semantic Versioning for its releases: <Major>.<minor>.<patch>.

For Gazebo API v1.2.3:

• 1 represents the major version.
• 2 represents the minor version.
• 3 represents the patch version.

For release candidate versions such as: v1.3.3-rc0

• 0 represents the release candidate version, it increases every time a new draft version is created for v1.3.3

NOTE: We prepend a v to the version.

Our current release policy is:

• Bug fixes increase patch versions.
• New features increase minor versions.
• Breaking changes increase major versions.

1. Merge all the new features into the main branch.
2. Create a new tag increasing the minor or patch version depending on our policy. The Release notes section must be filled in with the features included in this new release. The tag created for this release should be: vM.m.p
3. Go to the latest Pipeline executed in the main branch, there will be a set of build jobs for the different languages that the Gazebo API support.
   1. Click on each of the jobs listed there and press the Keep button in order to avoid GitLab from auto-cleaning the artifacts generated by each job.
   2. After pressing the Keep button on each job, copy the URL from the Download button.
4. If the Release notes section was filled in correctly, you'll find a new Release in the Releases page. If not, go back to step 2 and fill out the respective Release notes section by editing the created tag.
5. Click on Edit button next to the Release title.
6. In the edit page, go to the Release assets section, add a new entry for each link copied in step 3.
   1. URL: The URL copied in step 3.
   2. Link title: Name of the language, example: C++.
   3. Type: Other.
7. Press Save changes, the release is now official.
8. Let the different teams consuming the Gazebo API know that a new release has been created.
