JadeView Release Notes

Release repository: JadeViewDocs/JadeView

Supported Platforms and Architectures

  • Platform: Windows, Linux

  • Architecture:

    • Windows: x86 (32-bit), x64 (64-bit), arm64 (ARM 64-bit)

    • Linux: x64 (x86_64), arm64 (aarch64)

Each platform/architecture build ships both a dynamic and a static library (produced by the cdylib + staticlib crate types), so there is no separate "linking" distinction.

File Descriptions

Each release ships the library files and the C header (JadeView.h) for every platform/architecture, packaged per platform.

Windows Artifacts

  • JadeView_x86.dll / JadeView_x86.lib - 32-bit dynamic library / static library
  • JadeView_x64.dll / JadeView_x64.lib - 64-bit dynamic library / static library
  • JadeView_arm64.dll / JadeView_arm64.lib - ARM64 dynamic library / static library

Linux Artifacts

  • libJadeView.so - shared library (dynamic linking)
  • libJadeView.a - static library

Header File

  • JadeView.h - the C API header (common to all platforms, included in every package)

Packages

Windows is packaged as .zip and Linux as .tar.gz, named JadeView_{win|linux}_{platform}_v{version}.{buildNo}.{zip|tar.gz}:

  • JadeView_win_x86_v2.3.0-beta.5.26F01.zip - Windows 32-bit
  • JadeView_win_x64_v2.3.0-beta.5.26F01.zip - Windows 64-bit
  • JadeView_win_arm64_v2.3.0-beta.5.26F01.zip - Windows ARM64
  • JadeView_linux_x64_v2.3.0-beta.5.26F01.tar.gz - Linux x86_64
  • JadeView_linux_arm64_v2.3.0-beta.5.26F01.tar.gz - Linux arm64

The build number (e.g. 26F01) is generated automatically by CI, in the format YY + month letter (A–L) + per-month sequence.

Application Release Behavior

JadeView follows a regular release model to ensure users can obtain stable, secure version updates. The following is a detailed description of the release behavior:

Version Naming Convention

JadeView uses Semantic Versioning, in the format vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH:

  • MAJOR: Major version number, incremented when incompatible API changes are made
  • MINOR: Minor version number, incremented when backward-compatible new features are added
  • PATCH: Patch number, incremented when backward-compatible bug fixes are made

Support Policy

  • Current Version: Full support is provided for the latest released version, including complete bug fixes and security updates

Download Channels

  • GitHub Releases: All official versions can be downloaded from the GitHub Releases page
  • Official Documentation: Provides download links and usage instructions for the latest version
  • Package Managers: Installation via mainstream package managers (such as NuGet) will be supported in the future

Compatibility Guarantee

  • Backward Compatibility: Minor and patch versions are guaranteed to be backward compatible and will not break existing code
  • API Stability: API changes may occur between major versions, but a detailed migration guide will be provided
  • Platform Support: Every version is tested on all supported platforms to ensure compatibility

Security Updates

  • Vulnerability Response: For discovered security vulnerabilities, a security advisory will be published within 72 hours
  • Emergency Fixes: Critical security vulnerabilities will be prioritized, with emergency patch versions released
