How To Make an ITK Release

This page describes the sequence of steps required for making an ITK release

Pre-tag activities

  • Make sure to update the versions in the top level CMakeLists.txt as described below
    • For bugfix releases, this is done before the tag. For feature releases, this is done after the tag.
  • Make sure all new remote modules are built in by the Doxygen build

Tag the ITK repository

Tagging the repository should only be done with the agreement of the developers after a tcon.

Update your repository with

use the commmand 

  git checkout master
  git pull

to make sure that your source tree is updated. This must correspond to a source tree that has been fully tested in the Dashboard.

When tagging a bugfix release on the release branch, make sure to bump the ITK_VERSION_PATCH variable in the top level CMakeLists.txt before tagging. When tagging a feature release, make sure to bump the ITK_VERSION_MINOR version on the master branch after tagging.

Tag with a branch point reference

Note: At this time, Brad King and Matt McCormick are the person to do this because of their trusted GPG key.

In the source tree that you just updated, use the command 

 git tag -m "ITK 4.5-rc03" -s v4.5rc03 f9d99ca3ad00116393c4e2ce899beb00695ebb24


where, of course you change v4.5rc03 for the correct release number and the hash to the correct commit.

Push it to the repository 

 git push origin v4.5rc03

Before tagging the ITKApps repository, make a commit that bumps the superbuild ITK tag to this release. 

 git tag -m "ITK 4.5.0 Applications" -s v4.5.0-apps 2f012cb96715b59c63c9ee66022f398e236b04bd

Update the release branch

After the tag for the release. Perform a fast-forward merge of master into release: 

 git checkout release
 git reset --hard origin/release
 git merge --ff-only <version tag>
 git push origin release
 git checkout master

This will not create a new commit, only move the release branch to the tag, i.e. it will be fast forward.

Tag the InsightApplications repository

The same sequence of steps used for Insight must be used for tagging of ITKApps.

Mark the release as resolved on the issue tracker

Projects -> ITK -> Versions

Archive ExternalData on midas3.kitware.com

Run the script 

 ./Utilities/Maintenance/ArchiveTestingData.py

to upload the testing data from a local store on the ITK https://midas3.kitware.com/midas/ and http://slicer.kitware.com/midas3/ Community.

This script requires that pydas is installed.

Prepare tarballs

InsightToolkit tarball

Once the repository has been tagged, we use the following script in the repository to create the tarballs: 

   Utilities/Maintenance/SourceTarball.bash

InsightApplications tarball

Set the prefix and tag 

  tag=$(git describe)
  prefix=InsightApplications-4.1.1

create the tar file with the command 

  git archive --format=tar --prefix=${prefix}/ --output=${prefix}.tar ${tag}

use the maximum compression with gzip 

  gzip -9  ${prefix}.tar

That should produce a file named 

  ${prefix}.tar.gz

Create a zip file with 

 git archive --format=zip -9 --prefix=${prefix}/ --output=${prefix}.zip ${tag}


ITK Software Guide

Bump the ITK version in Superbuild/ExternalITKv4.cmake.

Comment the watermark block at the top of SoftwareGuide/Latex/00-Preamble-Common.tex.

Set the PDF_QUALITY_LEVEL CMake configuration option to "Screen" for the electronic version and "Printer" for the print version.

To create ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf to put at itk.org/ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf from InsightSoftwareGuide-Book{1,2}-4.X.0.pdf, use pdftk 

 pdftk InsightSoftwareGuide-Book* cat output /tmp/ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf

Prepare the print version

Set the PDF_QUALITY_LEVEL to "Printer", and rebuild.

Remove the junk initial page, and then also one of the blank pages so pages fall on "left-side / right-side" as formatted. 

 pdftk InsightSoftwareGuide-Book1.pdf cat 2-3 5-end output /tmp/InsightSoftwareGuide-Book1.pdf
 pdftk InsightSoftwareGuide-Book2.pdf cat 2-3 5-end output /tmp/InsightSoftwareGuide-Book2.pdf

ITK Sphinx Examples

Bump the Superbuild ITK version in Superbuild/External-ITK.cmake.

ITK Wiki Examples

Download the latest examples: 

 version=4.7.0

 wget https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITKWikiExamples/archive/master.zip 
 unzip ITKWikiExamples-master.zip
 mv ITKWikiExamples-master InsightWikiExamples-${version}
 zip -r InsightWikiExamples-${version}.zip InsightWikiExamples-${version}
 tar cvf InsightWikiExamples-${version}.tar InsightWikiExamples-${version}
 gzip -9 InsightWikiExamples-${version}.tar

Generating Doxygen Documentation

Note: links to the nightly generated Doxygen can be found at the bottom of the Doxygen HTML pages.

  • Run CMake in the binary build and enable BUILD_DOXYGEN
  • Do Configure and Generate in CMake
  • Go to the binary directory
  • Type "make Documentation"
  • Move into the directory Utilities/ ( cd Utilities/ )
  • Rename the Doxygen directory as DoxygenInsightToolkit-3.4.0 (of course with the appropriate release number)
  • Tar it with the command: tar -cf DoxygenInsightToolkit-3.4.0.tar DoxygenInsightToolkit-3.4.0
  • Compress it with the command: gzip -9 DoxygenInsightToolkit-3.4.0.tar

Historical note: Before ITK 3.8, The documentation used to be generated in a directory called Documentation/Doxygen.

  • In Public do:
    • Copy documentation to: /projects/Insight/Doxygen
      • Create a subdirectory Insight34-doxygen/Documentation/Doxygen
      • The final directory will look like: /projects/Insight/Doxygen/Insight34-doxygen/Documentation/Doxygen
      • and at that level copy the "html" directory and the InsightToolkit.tag file.
    • Create symbolic link at: /projects/Insight/WWW/InsightWeb
    • Create symbolic link at: /projects/Insight/WWW/InsightDocuments/Web

Copy the files to the FTP directory in public.kitware.com

 scp   InsightToolkit-2.4.0.tar.gz         kitware@public:/projects/Insight/WWW/InsightDocuments/Web/files/v2.4
 scp   InsightApplications-2.4.0.tar.gz    kitware@public:/projects/Insight/WWW/InsightDocuments/Web/files/v2.4
 scp   InsightToolkit-2.4.0.zip            kitware@public:/projects/Insight/WWW/InsightDocuments/Web/files/v2.4
 scp   InsightApplications-2.4.0.zip       kitware@public:/projects/Insight/WWW/InsightDocuments/Web/files/v2.4
 scp   DoxygenInsightToolkit-2.4.0.tar.gz  kitware@public:/projects/Insight/WWW/InsightDocuments/Web/files/v2.4
 
 scp   InsightSoftwareGuide-4.5.0.pdf  kitware@public:/projects/Insight/WWW/InsightDocuments/Web/files/v4.5
 ssh kitware@public
 cd /projects/Insight/WWW/InsightWeb
 rm ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf
 ln -s files/v4.5/ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf

Copy the files to SourceForge

This is to be done only by

  • Ken Martin at Kitware
  • Luis Ibanez at Kitware
  • Brad King at Kitware
  • Matt McCormick at Kitware
  • Brad Lowekamp at NLM

Using The New (2010) Interface

Go to this page 

  https://sourceforge.net/downloads/itk/itk/

and provide user name and password

Then

  • Use the "Add Folder" button to create a folder for the release.
  • Click on the folder to open it
  • Use the "Add File" button to upload files. The interface allows you to select multiple files for simultaneous upload.

After uploading, make sure to check the hashes on the uploads. These can be shown with the "(i)" button next to the file.

Large files, like the Doxyget HTML tarball, need to be uploaded with scp, a la: 

 scp InsightDoxygenDocHtml-4.7.0.tar.gz mmmccormic@frs.sourceforge.net:/home/frs/project/itk/itk/4.7/InsightDoxygenDocHtml-4.7.0.tar.gz

 git shortlog --topo-order --no-merges v4.0.0..v4.1.0

Delete the KWRobot time stamp commits.

Update Insight Journal

Contact Zack and request to do the following:

  • Install new ITK version in the Insight Journal testing environment
  • Update IJMacros.txt: Add the just released version of ITK

Update JIRA issue tracker

  • Create a new version to make possible for users to report bug pertaining to that specific ITK releasef
    • Create the next release target milestone with Administration -> ITK -> Versions -> Add
    • Release the current release milestone with Agile -> Classic ... -> Right click the release on the left -> Release

Further Testing

The purpose of this testing is to replicate the experience that a user may have when trying the new release.

This means that a number of ITK developers should download the tarballs or do Git checkouts with the release tag, and build the toolkit in as many configuration as possible.
