Folks,
I'm tired of Paul yelping at me all the time, so I have modified
the Coyote Library repository to support frequently updated
tagged releases of both the Coyote and Catalyst Libraries.
http://idl-coyote.googlecode.com/
To this end, I have created "coyote" and "catalyst" folders
in the "tags" branch of the repository and I have renamed
previously tagged releases to support the new naming convention
for tagged releases. The "trunk" branch of the repository will
still be used for current development work. As soon as I deem
current work "stable," I will create a tagged release. I expect
tagged releases to occur frequently.
Users can update to the latest tagged release by issuing an
SVN command like this:
svn co http://idl-coyote.googlecode.com/svn/tags/coyote_library_1.0 .7
local_dir
If you are interested in the very latest code development, or in
older routines (say in the "retired" folder), you will find these
in the "trunk" branch of the repository. For example:
svn co http://idl-coyote.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/coyote/retired
local_dir
The tagged release naming convention will involve three numbers
(e.g. 1.0.5). The first number will be a major release number.
This number should change infrequently. The second number is a
minor release number and will indicate new features in the library,
such as programs with new keywords added, algorithm changes, etc.
The third number is an update number and will indicate, primarily,
bug fixes or documentation changes to current library programs.
I think this is a much better system than I had, and I plan to
do my best to keep up with it! Thanks, Paul, for suggesting it. :-)
Cheers,
David
