A tick-tock release cycle allows easy migration to new software versions. Obsolete code is marked as deprecated for one major release. Deprecated code produces compile-time warnings. These warning serve as notification to users that their code should be upgraded. The next major release will remove the deprecated code.
-
Breaking: Examples are now built using native cmake. Two targets will be generated for each set of examples:
EXAMPLES_Build_TEST
andEXAMPLES_Configure_TEST
Examples are not built by default, but instead requireBUILD_EXAMPLES:bool=True
to be set. This is because examples require the package of interest to be installed viamake install
. -
Breaking: The project name has been changed to use the
gz-
prefix, you must use thegz
prefix!
- This also means that any generated code that use the project name (e.g. CMake variables, in-source macros) would have to be migrated.
- Some non-exhaustive examples of this include:
GZ_<PROJECT>_<VISIBLE/HIDDEN>
- CMake
-config
files - Paths that depend on the project name :
- Deprecated: include/ignition/utilities/SuppressWarning.hh Replacement: include/ignition/utils/SuppressWarning.hh (in the gz-utils package)
- Deprecated: include/ignition/utilities/ExtraTestMacros.hh Replacement: include/ignition/utils/ExtraTestMacros.hh (in the gz-utils package)
- Deprecated: CMake functions and macros starting with
