The main repository address is: https://bitbucket.org/lorainelab/integrated-genome-browser.
When you clone from this repository, by default you'll getthe master branch, the latest, most recent version of the code base. This branch is under active development and ultimately will become the next major release of IGB.If you're developing the core IGB code base, you should make changes to the master branch. For details, see Developing IGB.
IGB versioning - major and minor releases
...
Before making a major release, the IGB core development team contacts everyone we know of who is developing IGB Apps to alert them to upcoming changes in the API.
IGB release cycle - road map for 2016
The IGB core development team plans to release a new set of IGB service APIs for App developers in the first part of 2016 as part of the next major release of IGB, which will be IGB 9.0.0.
In the meantime, the team will continue making minor, mostly "bug fix" releases of IGB 8.5 and above.
All code released as part of IGB 8.5 will continue to support App APIs currently in place, but the IGB 9 release will include heavy refactoring of the API.
Development of IGB 9 will happen on the master branch. As soon as the master branch no longer supports existing APIs, we'll increment the version number in the repository to signal that we're now developing IGB 9. We may also make a new branch for IGB 8 to facilitate continued bug fix and minor releases developed for IGB 8.
Development of IGB versions being prepared for release to users will occur on the releaseCandidate branch, and we will tag each released version using the convention igb-M.N.P.
QuickLoad testing
The following git repository contains broken QuickLoad sites that are helpful for testing within IGB.
...
IGB depends on the Genoviz Software Development Kit (Genoviz SDK) which is version-controlled in a separate repository at https://bitbucket.org/lorainelab/genoviz-sdk. When you build IGB, the compilation tool we use (maven) will obtain the latest copy of the genoviz compiled code (a "jar" file) and install it locally.
