# Versioning
|
||||
## Versioning
|
||||
For releases VCMI uses version numbering in form "1.X.Y", where:
|
||||
- 'X' indicates major release. Different major versions are generally not compatible with each other. Save format is different, network protocol is different, mod format likely different.
|
||||
- 'Y' indicates hotfix release. Despite its name this is usually not urgent, but planned release. Different hotfixes for same major version are fully compatible with each other.
|
||||
|
||||
# Branches
|
||||
## Branches
|
||||
Our branching strategy is very similar to GitFlow:
|
||||
- `master` branch has release commits. One commit - one release. Each release commit should be tagged with version `1.X.Y` when corresponding version is released. State of master branch represents state of latest public release.
|
||||
- `beta` branch is for stabilization of ongoing release. Beta branch is created when new major release enters stabilization stage and is used for both major release itself as well as for subsequent hotfixes. Only changes that are safe, have minimal chance of regressions and improve player experience should be targeted into this branch. Breaking changes (e.g. save format changes) are forbidden in beta.
|
||||
- `develop` branch is a main branch for ongoing development. Pull requests with new features should be targeted to this branch, `develop` version is one major release ahead of `beta`.

## Publishing mods in VCMI Repository

Each mod hosted in it's own repository under separate organization [vcmi-mods](https://github.com/vcmi-mods). This way if engine become more popular in future we can create separate teams for each mod and accept as many people as needed.

### On backward compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
Our mod list in vcmi-mods-repository had "develop" as primary branch. Daily builds of VCMI use mod list file from this branch.
|
||||
Once VCMI get stable release there will be branching into "1.0.0", "1.1.0", etc. Launcher of released version will request mod list for particular version.
|
||||
Same way we can also create special stable branch for every mod under "vcmi-mods" organization umbrella once new stable version is released. So this way it's will be easier to maintain two versions of same mod: for stable and latest version.

|

## Getting into vcmi-mods organization

### Getting into vcmi-mods organization
|
||||

### Simultaneous turns
|
||||
|
||||
Simultaneous turns allow multiple players to act at the same time, speeding up early game phase in multiplayer games. During this phase if different players (allies or not) attempt to interact with each other, such as capture objects owned by other players (mines, dwellings, towns) or attack their heroes, game will block such actions. Interaction with same map objects at the same time, such as attacking same wandering monster is also blocked.
|
||||
|
||||
@ -178,8 +176,6 @@ Following options can be used to configure simultaneous turns:
|
||||
- Maximal duration (at most for): this is duration after which simultaneous turns will end unconditionally, even if players still have not contacted each other. However if contact detection discovers contact between two players, simultaneous turns between them might end before specified duration.
|
||||
- Simultaneous turns for AI: If this option is on, AI can act at the same time as human players. Note that AI shares settings for simultaneous turns with human players - if no simultaneous turns have been set up this option has no effect.
|
||||
|
||||
### Contact detection
|
||||
|
||||
While simultaneous turns are active, VCMI tracks contacts for each pair of player separately.
|
||||
|
||||
Players are considered to be "in contact" if movement range of their heroes at the start of turn overlaps, or, in other words - if their heroes can meet on this turn if both walk towards each other. When calculating movement range, game uses rules similar to standard movement range calculation in vcmi, meaning that game will track movement through monoliths and subterranean gates, but will not account for any removable obstacles, such as pickable treasures that block path between heroes. Any existing wandering monsters that block path between heroes are ignored for range calculation. At the moment, game will not account for any ways to extend movement range - Dimension Door or Town Portal spells, visiting map objects such as Stables, releasing heroes from prisons, etc.
