BRL-CAD Interface Change Policy
===============================
This policy describes formal rules for changing an interface that
potentially impacts developers or users. The scope is limited to
public interfaces including developer application programming
interfaces (APIs), user application command-line interfaces (CLIs),
and graphical user interfaces (GUIs). The policy aims to balance
developer agility with interface stability. Note that renaming an
application is NOT considered minimally impacting, since that name
is the primary means by which users locate the application.
All changes to BRL-CAD are expected to conform to this change policy.
Changes MUST either be:
A) MINIMALLY IMPACTING, or
B) FORMALLY DEPRECATED.
MINIMALLY IMPACTING
-------------------
Changes deemed "minimally impacting" can be made at any time. For a
change to be considered as such, its effect must be strictly limited.
Most are itemized under MINIMALLY IMPACTING CHANGES. They MUST be:
A.1) a relatively new interface
Interfaces introduced recently are often subject to rapid
development change. New interfaces are not subject to formal
deprecation rules until they have been included in at least
TWO releases without change.
A.2) an appreciably broken interface
Interfaces that have been unusable for at least TWO releases
may be fixed, changed, or removed without notice. A broken
interface is one that does not perform its intended function
and does not have secondary utility.
A.3) an elementary change
Simple changes that are trivially accommodated without
conditional logic or manual inspection can be made at will.
It includes mechanical changes that can be automatically
updated by a single static regular expression substitution.
Examples include renaming, reordering parameters, adding
optional parameters, eliminating a duplicate equivalent
interface, adding parameters for implicit behavior, and
removing unused parameters.
FORMALLY DEPRECATED
-------------------
Changes not minimally impacting must follow formal deprecation
process. This defers significant changes to major release points or
requires public notification in advance. Changes are documented in
this file first as DEPRECATED CHANGES then later as OBSOLETED CHANGES.
An interface may be changed:
B.1) during a major release (e.g. from 7.*.* to 8.*.*)
Any change may be made without notice. Major version number
releases imply intrinsic incompatibility or interface change.
B.2) during a minor release (e.g., from 7.26.* to 7.28.*)
The interface must be publicly deprecated beforehand with
advance notice given in at least TWO minor releases and after
at least 90 days elapsed since initial release announcement.
Public interfaces scheduled for change should be noted in this file
and visibly marked in the source code. This marking may be the
DEPRECATED keyword on function declarations, #warning "DEPRECATED ..."
pre-processor statements, @DEPRECATED source code comments, and
combinations thereof.
Where usage is not adversely affected, a run-time statement may be
displayed (typically "DEPRECATION WARNING: ..."). All call references
and documentation should be updated prior to obsoleting.
EXAMPLES
--------
Example #1: rt_shootray() removal
It's decided during 7.50.3 development to remove the rt_shootray()
function. That does NOT qualify as "minimally impacting" because
there's no equivalent replacement and rt_shootray() has been published
and documented in more than two releases. The function gets listed as
DEPRECATED in the CHANGES file, marked as DEPRECATED in the API
header, and is published via the 7.50.4 release.
The soonest that function could be removed / obsoleted would be in
7.54.0 during 7.53.* development provided more than 90 days had passed
since the initial announcement. It could NOT be removed in 7.54.2 as
that's a patch version, prior to 7.54, nor during 7.54.0 if less than
90 days had passed since 7.50.6 was posted.
Example #2: bu_log() mod
It's decided during 7.48.1 development to modify bu_log() by adding an
additional optional enum parameter denoting a message type, e.g.,
bu_log(INFO, ...). This change is considered "minimally impacting"
because it can be characterized by a simple regular expression (e.g.,
"s/bu_log\(/bu_log(INFO, /g)" and calling codes are trivially
accommodated. All calls to bu_log() should be updated to the new form
prior to change announcement.
The function could be changed at any time so long as it's documented
under MINIMALLY IMPACTING CHANGES.
**********************************************************************
*** DEPRECATED CHANGES ***
**********************************************************************
(reverse chronological order)
The interfaces announced below are scheduled to significantly change
or be removed. They are categorized by the release in which
deprecation was first announced. If the interface change involved a
removal or transition, both the original and new interface names are
generally listed for reference.
Items marked with a "'" (single quote) are undocumented and may be
removed at any time.
7.42
----
include/raytrace librt
db_search_context removed in favor of new db_search params -
old db_search function signature can temporarily be obtained
under the name db_search_old
libged "how" command and its exposure in Tcl
Currently returning an internal GED numerical value - will
either be changed to report a human readable string instead
or (more likely) retired as a command outright in favor of
a "view obj [name] info mode" subcommand.
include/ged/commands.h
current ged_cmd_valid functionality will be replaced by
ged_cmd_exists and ged_cmd_same.
include/bg/plane.h
removing tri_specific structure - only used internally in
one place in BRL-CAD code as of v7.40.2.
MGED features
predictor frame for velocity-based navigation will be removed.
Early idea in 3D space navigation that doesn't seemed to have
panned out in practice.
GED commands
removing command-line-supplied edit string support from the
following libged commands. New method will be to set the
desired editor and terminal options in struct ged, or if
operating at the user level) to set the relevant environment
variables.
edcolor (-E opt)
edcodes (-E opt)
editit (-e opt)
edmater (-E opt)
red (-E opt)
7.40
----
include/bu/process.h
bu_process_exec: replaced by bu_process_create
bu_process_wait: replaced by bu_process_wait_n
bu_process_read: replaced by bu_process_read_n
bu_process_open: replaced by bu_process_file_open
bu_process_close: replaced by bu_process_file_close
bu_process_args: replaced by bu_process_args_n
bu_process_id: replaced by bu_pid
bu_terminate: replaced by bu_pid_terminate
MGED commands
p, r and g optional arguments to summary command -
info can be obtained via search
dbip, get_dbip - exposure of low-level pointer information
Shouldn't be using this at a user/scripting level
7.38
----
MGED commands
E (a.k.a "big E") - replaced by "draw -m5"
7.32
----
include/bu/app.h
bu_brlcad_root: replaced by bu_dir
bu_brlcad_dir: replaced by bu_dir
include/bg/chull.h
All functions returning point arrays instead of index arrays.
Will be replaced by similarly named functions returning
indexes into provided points array, to allow the caller
to decide if new arrays are needed. [deprecated 7.32]
bg_polyline_2d_chull, bg_2d_chull, bg_3d_coplanar_chull,
bg_3d_chull
include/bu/exit.h
TODO: warrants discussion
considering replacing bu_backtrace and bu_crashreport with
versions that take an optional parameter to pass in a full
path from the calling application. (Currently available as
bu_backtrace_app and bu_crashreport_app, these would replace
existing versions after deprecation is final.)
MGED gui
The following will be removed from MGED's menu bar (unused
features, can be accomplished another way, or will be exposed
only as lower level settings when there are sensible defaults
that are seldom changed.)
Settings->Mouse Behavior->Pick Raytrace-Object(s)
MGED overlay command
Instead of an optional second argument being the view object
name, command will take (potentially) multiple plot files
as input to overlay. Optional view object name will be
specified with the -N option.
7.30
----
~/.density
automatic reading of .density file in home directory

*** MINIMALLY IMPACTING CHANGES ***
**********************************************************************
(forward chronological order)
All minimally impacting changes are listed by release as regular
expressions. Unless noted otherwise, expressions are shown using Perl
syntax (i.e., the '(', ')', and '|' characters pertain to
subexpression captures, escaping with '\' matches literally.
Expressions should apply via:
perl -0777 -pi -e 'EXPRESSION' FILE
To apply an expression to an entire source tree, the following pattern
may work:
find . -type f -not -path "*.git/*" -regex '.*\(c\|cpp\|cxx\|h\|hpp\)$' -exec perl -0777 -pi -e 'EXPRESSION' {} \;
find src \( -name '*.c' -or -name '*.cxx' -or -name '*.cpp' -or -name '*.h' -or -name '*.hxx' -or -name '*.hpp' -or -name '*.java' -or -name '*.f' -or -name '*.sh' -or -name '*.tcl' -or -name '*.tk' -or -name '*.itcl' -or -name '*.itk' -or -name '*.pl' -or -name '*.php' -or -name '*.inc' -or -name '*.mged' -or -name '*.y' -or -name '*.l' -or -name '*.yy' \) -not \( -name other -or -regex '.*/other/.*' -or -name tools -or -regex '.*/misc/tools/.*' -or -regex '.*/\.[^\.].*' -or -regex '.*~' -or -regex '.*/#.*' \)
Expressions are minimally tested, use with caution. Make a backup.
