Release Info

This page provides an overview of the different release types, versioning, and file formats for OF-Scraper.

Release Types

OF-Scraper uses distinct release types to indicate stability and origin.

Continuous Development Builds (Snapshot Releases)

These releases are generated directly from recent commits on development branches (like main). They represent the absolute latest state of the codebase and typically include a commit hash in their name.

Naming Convention: Often includes a branch name, a short commit hash, and the date of the associated commit for chronological sorting (e.g., 3.13.dev8-a70aca3e)
Stability: These are bleeding-edge versions and may contain new features, bug fixes, or unresolved issues. They are primarily for testing and development.
Example Tag: main-9e54ed3-1749940070

Pre-release Versions (e.g., `X.Y.Z.devN`)

These releases are designated as "semi-stable" and are pushed for broader testing before a full stable release. They typically follow a major.minor.patch.devN numbering scheme.

Naming Convention: Follows the format major.minor.patch.devN (e.g., 3.7.0.dev0).
Stability: More stable than continuous development builds, but still undergoing testing.
Example Version: 3.7.0.dev0

Stable Releases (Numbered)

These are production-ready versions of OF-Scraper, thoroughly tested and considered stable for general use. They mark a specific commit as a reliable release point.

Naming Convention: Standard semantic versioning (e.g., X.Y.Z, like 3.6.0).
Stability: Highly stable and recommended for most users.
Example Version: 3.6.0
