- The guess-rev.sh script is now a tweaked version of "setlocalversion" as
seen in Linux, U-Boot, and various other projects. When it finds source
control support (git, hg, svn) it uses IDs from there. Else (specific
to this project) it reports itself as "-snapshot", e.g. from gitweb.
I verified this new "guess-rev.sh" script runs under Cygwin.
- Also update the generic version strings to be like "0.3.0-dev" (during
development) instead of the very long "0.3.0-in-development". These also
show up in the PDF docs. For better tracking, we might eventually change
these strings to include the version IDs too.
- Change the startup banner version strings so they include the guess-rev
output. Development and release versions with GIT will be like
Open On-Chip Debugger 0.3.0-dev-00282-g7191a4f-dirty (2009-10-05-20:57)
Open On-Chip Debugger 0.3.0 (2009-10-05-20:57)
instead of the previous SVN-specific (even when using git-svn!)
Open On-Chip Debugger 0.3.0-in-development (2009-10-05-01:39) svn:exported
Open On-Chip Debugger 0.3.0 (2009-10-05-01:39) Release

- Improve and clarify the wording of the introduction.
- Add section on version taggging.
- Some other minor corrections.

process once again and reconsider it in some detail. In doing so,
some further revisions to the process were required:
1) The URL of the repository is embedded in the released code.
- The packages need to be created from the tagged branch.
- The URL then points to where to get the tagged code.
2) Improve the instructions for NEWS handling.
- NEWS file must be updated for each release; describe that process.
- The NEWS file should be archived an recreated for each release.
3) Add detail steps for the berliOS release process.
4) Minor cleanups to release process doxygen markup.

- Provide overview of OpenOCD versioning schema.
- Outline responsibilities and authority of the release manager.
- Explain the need for flexibility in the release schedule.
- Add and refine the release process steps.
- Include tutorials for using new release script.
- Many more improvements, too numerous to list.
