# Winit Contributing Guidelines
|
|
|
|
## Scope
|
|
[See `FEATURES.md`](./FEATURES.md). When requesting or implementing a new Winit feature, you should
|
|
consider whether or not it's directly related to window creation or input handling. If it isn't, it
|
|
may be worth creating a separate crate that extends Winit's API to add that functionality.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Reporting an issue
|
|
|
|
When reporting an issue, in order to help the maintainers understand what the problem is, please make
|
|
your description of the issue as detailed as possible:
|
|
|
|
- if it is a bug, please provide clear explanation of what happens, what should happen, and how to
|
|
reproduce the issue, ideally by providing a minimal program exhibiting the problem
|
|
- if it is a feature request, please provide a clear argumentation about why you believe this feature
|
|
should be supported by winit
|
|
|
|
## Making a pull request
|
|
|
|
When making a code contribution to winit, before opening your pull request, please make sure that:
|
|
|
|
- you tested your modifications on all the platforms impacted, or if not possible detail which platforms
|
|
were not tested, and what should be tested, so that a maintainer or another contributor can test them
|
|
- you updated any relevant documentation in winit
|
|
- you left comments in your code explaining any part that is not straightforward, so that the
|
|
maintainers and future contributors don't have to try to guess what your code is supposed to do
|
|
- your PR adds an entry to the changelog file if the introduced change is relevant to winit users.
|
|
|
|
You needn't worry about the added entry causing conflicts, the maintainer that merges the PR will
|
|
handle those for you when merging (see below).
|
|
- if your PR affects the platform compatibility of one or more features or adds another feature, the
|
|
relevant sections in [`FEATURES.md`](https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit/blob/master/FEATURES.md#features)
|
|
should be updated.
|
|
|
|
Once your PR is open, you can ask for review by a maintainer of your platform. Winit's merging policy
|
|
is that a PR must be approved by at least two maintainers of winit before being merged, including
|
|
at least a maintainer of the platform (a maintainer making a PR themselves counts as approving it).
|
|
|
|
Once your PR is deemed ready, the merging maintainer will take care of resolving conflicts in
|
|
`CHANGELOG.md` (but you must resolve other conflicts yourself). Doing this requires that you check the
|
|
"give contributors write access to the branch" checkbox when creating the PR.
|
|
|
|
## Maintainers & Testers
|
|
|
|
The current [list of testers and contributors](https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit/wiki/Testers-and-Contributors)
|
|
can be found on the Wiki.
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in contributing or testing on a platform, please add yourself to that table!
|
|
|
|
## Making a new release
|
|
|
|
If you believe a new release is warranted, you can make a pull-request with:
|
|
- An updated version number (remember to change the version everywhere it is used).
|
|
- A new section in the changelog (below the `# Unreleased` section).
|
|
|
|
This gives contributors an opportunity to squeeze in an extra PR or two that they feel is valuable
|
|
enough to warrant blocking the release a little.
|
|
|
|
Once the PR is merged, a maintainer will create a new tag matching the version name (e.g. `v0.26.1`),
|
|
and a CI job will automatically release the new version. Remember that the release date in the
|
|
changelog must be kept in check with the actual release date.
