Release & Version Identifier

Jina is shipped from two package management systems, PyPi and Docker Hub. This article clarifies the release cycle and version identifier behind each system.

PyPi package versioning

We follow the semantic versioning and PEP-440. Jina's version is identified by x.y.z (i.e. "major.minor.patch").

To install the latest final release:

pip install -U jina

To install a particular final release:

pip install jina==x.y.z

The term "final release" is relative to "developmental release" as described below.

Developmental releases versioning

One every master-merging event, we create early releases directly from source control which do not conflict with later project releases. The version identifier for development release is x.y.z.devN, which adds a suffix .dev, followed by a non-negative integer value N, which is reset on every release.

To install the latest development release:

pip install --pre jina

Version epochs

The following example shows how Jina is released from 0.9 to 0.9.2 according to the schema we defined above.

Event e After e, pip install jina After e, pip install --pre jina After e, master __init__.py
Release 0.9.0 0.9.0 0.9.1.dev0
Master merging 0.9.0 0.9.1.dev0 0.9.1.dev1
Master merging 0.9.0 0.9.1.dev1 0.9.1.dev2
Master merging 0.9.0 0.9.1.dev2 0.9.1.dev3
Release 0.9.1 0.9.1 0.9.2.dev0
Master merging 0.9.1 0.9.2.dev0 0.9.2.dev1

Docker image versioning

Our univeral Docker image is ready-to-use on linux/amd64, linux/armv7+, linux/arm/v6. The Docker image name always starts with jinaai/jina followed by a tag composed of three parts:

jinaai/jina:{version}{python_version}{extra}
  • {version}: The version of Jina. Possible values:
    • latest: the last release;
    • master: the master branch of jina-ai/jina repository;
    • x.y.z: the release of a particular version;
    • x.y: the alias to the last x.y.z patch release, i.e. x.y = x.y.max(z);
  • {python_version}: The Python version of the image. Possible values:
    • , -py37: Python 3.7;
    • -py38 for Python 3.8;
  • {extra}: the extra dependency installed along with Jina. Possible values:
    • : Jina is installed inside the image via pip install jina;
    • -devel: Jina is installed inside the image via pip install jina[devel];
    • -daemon: Jina is installed inside the image via pip install jina[dameon] along with fluentd; and the entrypoint is set to jinad.

Examples:

  • jinaai/jina:0.9.6: the 0.9.6 release with Python 3.7 and the entrypoint of jina.
  • jinaai/jina:latest-py38-daemon: the latest release with Python 3.8 base and the entrypoint of Jina daemon.
  • jinaai/jina:latest: the latest release with Python 3.7 and the entrypoint of jina
  • jinaai/jina:master: the master with Python 3.7 and the entrypoint of jina

Do I need -devel?

Use -devel image, if you want to:

  • have efficiency improvement on AsyncIO and data compression
  • enable prettified error printing
  • build Jina Hub extension
  • expose REST interface beyond gRPC
  • enable log-streaming/aggregating via fluentd
  • enable mime-type sniffing

Image alias and updates

Event Updated images Aliases
On Master Merge jinaai/jina:master{python_version}{extra}
On x.y.z release jinaai/jina:x.y.z{python_version}{extra} jinaai/jina:latest{python_version}{extra}, jinaai/jina:x.y{python_version}{extra}

Six images are built, i.e. taking the combination of:

  • {python_version} = ["-py37", "-py38"]
  • {extra} = ["", "-devel", "-daemon"]
