Breaking Changes

This document describes QMK's Breaking Change process. A Breaking Change is any change which modifies how QMK behaves in a way that in incompatible or potentially dangerous. We limit these changes so that users can have confidence that updating their QMK tree will not break their keymaps.

The breaking change period is when we will merge PR's that change QMK in dangerous or unexpected ways. There is a built-in period of testing so we are confident that any problems caused are rare or unable to be predicted.

What has been included in past Breaking Changes?

When is the next Breaking Change?

The next Breaking Change is scheduled for Aug 29, 2020.

Important Dates

  • 2020 May 30 - develop is created. It will be rebased weekly.
  • 2020 Aug 1 - develop closed to new PR's.
  • 2020 Aug 1 - Call for testers.
  • 2020 Aug 27 - master is locked, no PR's merged.
  • 2020 Aug 29 - Merge develop to master.
  • 2020 Aug 29 - master is unlocked. PR's can be merged again.

What changes will be included?

To see a list of breaking change candidates you can look at the breaking_change label. New changes might be added between now and when develop is closed, and a PR with that label applied is not guaranteed to be merged.

If you want your breaking change to be included in this round you need to create a PR with the breaking_change label and have it accepted before develop closes. After develop closes no new breaking changes will be accepted.

Criteria for acceptance:

  • PR is complete and ready to merge
  • PR has a ChangeLog

Checklists

This section documents various processes we use when running the Breaking Changes process.

Rebase develop from master

This is run every Friday while develop is open.

Process:

cd qmk_firmware
git checkout master
git pull --ff-only
git checkout develop
git rebase master
git push --force

Creating the develop branch

This happens immediately after the previous develop branch is merged.

  • qmk_firmware git commands
    • git checkout master
    • git pull --ff-only
    • git checkout -b develop
    • Edit readme.md
      • Add a big notice at the top that this is a testing branch.
      • Include a link to this document
    • git commit -m 'Branch point for <DATE> Breaking Change'
    • git tag breakpoint_<YYYY>_<MM>_<DD>
    • git tag <next_version> # Prevent the breakpoint tag from confusing version incrementing
    • git push origin develop
    • git push --tags

4 Weeks Before Merge

  • develop is now closed to new PR's, only fixes for current PR's may be merged
  • Post call for testers
