# Pull Requests #
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have had to turn away a number of pull requests due to avoidable circumstances. Please read this file before submitting a pull request. Also look at existing, rejected pull requests which state the reason for rejection.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here are the rules:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Submit pull requests to the devel branch**. The library must be tested on every compiler and OS, so there is no way I am going to just put your change in the master before it has been sync'd and tested on a number of machines. Master branch is depended upon by hundreds of projects.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Test your changes on all platforms and compilers that you can.** Also, state which platforms you have tested your code on. 32-bit or 64-bit. Clang or GCC. Visual Studio or Mingw. I have to test all these to accept pull requests, so I prioritize changes that respect my time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Submit Premake build changes only**. As of 1.1, SCons is deprecated. Also, do not submit altered generated projects. I will re-run Premake to re-generate them to ensure that I can still generate the project prior to admitting your pull request.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Do not alter existing behavior to support your desired behavior**. For instance, rewriting file open dialogs to behave differently, while trading off functionality for compatibility, will get you rejected. Consider creating an additional code path. Instead of altering `nfd_win.cpp` to support Windows XP, create `nfd_win_legacy.cpp`, which exists alongside the newer file dialog.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Do not submit anything I can't verify or maintain**. If you add support for a compiler, include from-scratch install instructions that you have tested yourself. Accepting a pull request means I am now the maintainer of your code, so I must understand what it does and how to test it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Do not change the externally facing API**. NFD needs to maintain ABI compatibility.

## Submitting Cloud Autobuild systems ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have received a few pull requests for Travis and AppVeyor-based autobuilding which I have not accepted. NativeFileDialog is officially covered by my private BuildBot network which supports all three target OSes, both CPU architectures and four compilers. I take the view that having a redundant, lesser autobuild system does not improve coverage: it gives a false positive when partial building succeeds. Please do not invest time into cloud-based building with the hope of a pull request being accepted.

Despite all of the "do nots" above, I am happy to recieve new pull requests! If you have any questions about style, or what I would need to accept your specific request, please contact me ahead of submitting the pull request by opening an issue on Github with your question. I will do my best to answer you.
