Release Check List

Here is a list of things we need to do/test before putting a new release on the site:

• Check that the main menu option Help->Version lists the correct application and component versions.
• Check that the release notes are complete.
• Check that the online help associated with each component is correct.

Requirements To Consider

• All gew components should implement the interface WorkbenchPlugin which defines a number of methods such as:
  • String getLabInfo(): returns information about the lab where the component originated from.
  • String getLicenseInfo(): returns license information.
  • String getLibraries(): returns information about 3rd party libraries (with approrpiate attribution).
  • VersionInfo getVersion(): returns the version of the component.
• Modify VisualPlugin::getComponent() to return an object of type WorkbenchVisualComponent that extends Component and provides ways to display originating Lab, licence info, libraries and version.
