Contributing

Thank you for your interest in audiowaveform!

We love hearing feedback from people who use our software, so if you are using this for something interesting, please let us know.

Contributions are welcomed and encouraged. If you're thinking of writing a new feature, please first discuss the change you wish to make, either by raising an issue, or contacting us directly, e.g, by email.

We may not always be able to respond immediately to feedback, so please bear with us and have patience.

Making changes

  • If we agree with your feature proposal, we'll work with you to develop and integrate the feature.

  • Please avoid making commits directly to your copy of the master branch. This branch is reserved for aggregating changes from other people, and for mainline development from the core contributors. If you commit to master, it's likely that your local fork will diverge from the upstream repository.

  • Before working on a change, please ensure your local fork is up to date with the code in the upstream repository, and create a feature branch for your changes.

  • We may want to make minor changes to your pull request before merging, so please ensure that the Allow edits from maintainers option on your feature branch is enabled.

  • Please don't change the VERSION file, or update the ChangeLog. We'll do that when preparing a new release.

  • Please follow the existing coding conventions.

  • For commit messages, please follow these guidelines, although we're not fussy about use of imperative mood vs past tense. In particular, avoid commit messages that include Angular-style metadata.

  • Please add test cases for your feature, and ensure all tests are passing (make test).

  • When merging a feature branch, core contributors may choose to squash your commits, so that the feature is merged as a single logical change.

Preparing a new release

When it's time to publish a new release version, create a single commit on master with the following changes only:

Tag this commit using the form X.Y.Z and push the commit using git push origin master --tags.
