This is an attempt at a checklist for the "next release" - as of 2023/10, for sigrok-cli this would be either 0.7.3 or 0.8.0 (maybe the latter would be more appropriate given that 0.7.2 was over 2 years ago ?). Other subprojects have different numbers e.g. last libsigrok was 0.5.2 .

Most of this is intended to expand on the main release guidelines here https://sigrok.org/wiki/Developers/Release_process


  • what platforms "must work" ?
    • linux is the most tested based on IRC traffic, but maybe we can explicitly list distros to test ?
    • win : would be nice to have a list of people we can ping to get them test a build
    • osx : no idea, no user reports in IRC
    • *BSD : no idea, no user reports in IRC
  • what currently open issues should be considered "blockers" for a release ?
    • I recall some Python2 / 3 compatibility fixes, forgot the details
    • random weird issues that always seem to come from Win* users running weird combinations of hardware / firmware
  • what external projects depend on sigrok components or bindings ? does it actually matter ?

Transports (this would be better presented in a matrix format with feature vs OS) :

  • serial (native/USB-CDC)
  • USB (non-serial)
  • USB
  • TCP/IP
  • GPIB (probably just linux ?)
  • VXI ?
