0003663: Doomseeker 1.3 release
Similarly to 0003483 we did previously for Doomseeker 1.2.

Let's make a stable 1.3 release of Doomseeker?
For the record to developers: I'll kindly ask to use the View Issues and/or Roadmap features in MantisBT for tracking issues to be resolved for Doomseeker 1.3. I've made a best effort to make sure assigned tickets have a target version, to utilize MantisBT to its full extent.

This is different to 0003483: Please no issues by their version or priority to relationships of this epic. The child/related issues should be reserved for reported release management issues/tasks such as releasing tarballs if agreed upon, thanks!

Doomseeker 1.2 was released on 2018-10-27 according to the MantisBT issue tracker's change log, so it's been a while again.

I'm in favor of smaller releases. Currently the roadmap has 48 issues (16 resolved), about the size of 1.1 release and half of that we had for the Doomseeker 1.2 release.

~half of current issues need review or testing.

For clarification, I think the Doomseeker 1.2 release was uncomfortably a little bit too big for my tastes too. Bisecting issues (and managing issues on the issue tracker) may become easier with smaller releases.

No opposition from me, issues 0003369, 0003636 (and related) and 0001961 would really justify a new version, and the rest of them also add up.

As last time, I'll be translating doomseeker to a new language (I promise that I already had intention to work on it, it's just that this ticket remembered me to make the ticket 0003664).

Regarding the OpenBSD issues, while of course it would be nice to have them resolved for 1.3, I'd say that they're not blocking the release since official releases are for official platforms and OpenBSD is not and probably never will. I won't have the time and willingness to make sure that future releases will still be compatible, for instance. I'm expecting university to be a black hole for personal time. Not sure about the rest of the team, but I'd say that covering 99.37% of Internet users is enough work.

0003514 should be closed before the release, because in case it is declined we will have to make some reworks.

EDIT: BTW, happy 10 years of doomseeker-ing.

I'll be taking care of all the outstanding PRs so that the list is clear. After that I'll release a beta update since I haven't done that in quite a while. After that I'll consider what else needs to be done for 1.3.

Beta release for Windows uploaded to DRD Team and also to the beta update channel.

Beta is based off commit:'https://bitbucket.org/Doomseeker/doomseeker/commits/6af42a5a16f7219dc7dfb24674ba555895f44f7d [^]'
Package:'https://devbuilds.drdteam.org/doomseeker/doomseeker-1.3~beta-190622-1032.zip [^]'

There are plenty of "needs testing" issues on the roadmap. These should be tested or "tested" and marked as resolved.

I removed "1.3" target from the issues that I keep assigned to me.

We're nearly there. There are several issues that still need to be "confirmed as ok" on the roadmap. Since the outstanding "needs testing" issues were reported by Wub, I urge you (Wub) to please do the confirmation.

I've also delisted following issues from 1.3:
- 0003531 (needs more work),
- 0003660 (OpenBSD issue),
- 0003662 (SRB2Kart problem that needs more work or more wait)

The final issue that needs programming attention is 0003599.

I'll update the PL translation shortly but wait with the IP2C blobbing until the final notice.

Okay, let's go!

DONE:

1. Tagged 1.3
2. Final beta release uploaded to the beta auto-update channel.
3. Windows release packages (.zip files) with full Doomseeker 1.3 and Wadseeker 2.0 source uploaded to the website.
   Note: Wadseeker 2.0 Dev Kit release for Windows is now the Wadseeker 2.0 source code zipped and packaged by the makesourcepackages.sh script. It has no precompiled binaries. This is the only sane way to handle supporting all compilers.
4. Website code updated for 1.3 release and pushed to the website repo - it is not deployed on the server yet.
5. Doxygen documentation generated using doxygen 1.8.11 (it's the version from Ubuntu 16.04, doxygen 1.8.13 from Ubu 18.04 doesn't seem to generate the nav bar properly). Doc uploaded to the /docs directory on the website.

TODO:

1. Release Ubuntu & Mac binary packages - Blzut3
2. Build the signed ".tar.xz" source packages for doomseeker 1.3 and wadseeker 2.0 and upload them to /files on the server - Blzut3
3. Deploy auto-update packages of the final 1.3 to stable and beta update channels - Zalewa
4. Deploy website to the server - anyone
5. Forums announcement - anyone

The announcement blurb will be posted in a private comment below.

Thanks, I've tracked them as child issues.
