If there is not an appropriate folder, feel free to create one. Please put files into the correct folders. Groups.io has free subscription storage limit of 1 GB! The following are counted towards the storage limits for the group: - Files - Photos - Images in databases - Images in wiki pages - Message attachments 1. Either they are to be added to the next release, added to the Documents or will have a short life span. This is a place for temp files, other than administrative files.

If problems are found and reported, the whole process moves along even better.
#JMRI DECODERPRO INSTALL#
A few hours after a change is made, it can be gotten from one of those (the change mentioned here has already been built into these: ) People can download and install these to check new features of interest to them. These are called names like 4.17.1-ish, 4.17.2-ish, and they’re built several times a day if changes have been made. *) Between test releases, during that month of accumulation, there are “development” release available.

If that happens at the same time as a new computer, or a change to the layout, or multiple issues are present, then it can be really complicated and time-consuming to resolve. At a minimum, we request that people download and use a new production release once a year or so: The further behind a layout is, the bigger the step forward when it has to be updated, and the more likely that unexpected issues will arise.

So it’s very helpful for people to install and check a test release or two between production releases. But JMRI is large, complicated, and has lots of interacting features: We need users to check things to make sure that JMRI still works for _them_.
#JMRI DECODERPRO MANUAL#
We’ve got lots of automated and manual testing in place. People working on new features and fixes really do try to not break things. Partly that’s because the test process isn’t perfect partly that’s because such big changes can often wait a little bit anyway. Toward the end of the sequence, though, the risk-reward ratio changes: We don’t want to introduce a new bug in the last test release before a production release. Generally, all the small numbered test releases are made with all the contributed changes up to that point they’re meant to be inclusive. The test release process doesn’t work unless people do that. We encourage as many people as possible to download these and _test_ them, so that new problems can be found ASAP. These have new features, like “rotation of Layout Editor”.
#JMRI DECODERPRO SERIES#
These have names like 4.17.1, 4.17.2, etc leading up to 4.18 after that, a new series starts with 4.19.1, 4.19.2, leading to the next production release. These are the ones that we encourage people to use, particularly new users, because they’re a good balance of new features and annoying bugs (new and unfixed) Any development process can create bugs sometime even properly-working new features are considered bugs by some users! So how do we get from “new code” to “production release”? *) About once a month we create a “test” release. Twice a year, we create something called a “production” release. ADMIN: Copied from a post by Bob Jacobson This looks like a good moment to describe the thinking behind JMRI’s releases more generally.
