scripts/dev-build-version.py turns version.txt plus the head commit into
0.7.1-dev.20261019.<hash>: the -dev display string for installer names and
the native settings page, and a YYMMDD stamp for the fourth VERSIONINFO field.
apply_version.py accepts an optional fourth quad field to carry that stamp;
releases leave it at 0, so their behaviour is unchanged. The settings page's
version parser strips the -dev suffix and compares numbers, which is what
keeps the update check quiet on dev installs -- no opt-out flag needed.
The product lock existed because five repositories had to be pinned to reproduce one product. Four of them are directories now, so a commit of this repository already pins them and there is nothing left for the lock to say about them. What it still records is what the product consumes from outside: the engine submodule, the helpcodes and the dictionary release.
CI gains a job per component instead of a reusable workflow that checked out locked commits and rebuilt them. The release workflow no longer stages five sibling checkouts under historical names and no longer carries a second sparse checkout for its own scripts; Prepare-PackageFiles.ps1 already took the source directory names as parameters, so it is told the new ones, plus where the product-wide notice now lives.
Two checks the removed cross-repository pins used to provide are replaced in kind: the pages are verified against the engine submodule's web contract in CI rather than by locking UiHtml and Engine together, and the engine bump triage that Server carried moves here and now also says so when a bump leaves the lock behind.
The Windows installer has been produced by hand: build the TSF DLLs and the Server locally, build the settings page, copy dictionaries out of a developer checkout, then run the msime-installer scripts against a self-signed certificate. This automates that end to end, keeping the same artifact name the releases have always carried, MetasequoiaIME_Setup_v<version>.exe.
The workflow follows the shape of MSIME-Apple's release.yml. release-please owns version.txt and opens a release PR; merging it creates a draft release, which the publish path then builds and fills in. A manual dispatch can rebuild an existing draft tag, and validates that the tag matches version.txt at an immutable commit SHA before anything is built.
Four jobs feed the packaging job: the TSF DLLs for x64 and Win32, the Server Release build, and the settings page. msime-installer needs no changes because the packaging job stages each checkout under the historical directory name its scripts already address, so Prepare-PackageFiles.ps1 and Compile-Installer.ps1 run unmodified. windows-2025 ships Inno Setup 6.7.1, above the 6.6 the scripts require.
Dictionaries are not rebuilt here. They are downloaded from a dict-* release of metasequoiaime/MSIME-Dict and checked against its SHA256SUMS.txt, with the Mozc IPAdic / ICOT / Okinawa notice placed where Prepare-PackageFiles.ps1 expects so it reaches the installed product.
Signing follows the pattern MSIME-Apple uses: sign when the certificate secrets are configured, otherwise publish with an -unsigned suffix and say in the release notes that uiAccess will not take effect. Sign-PackageBinaries-Local.ps1 mints a self-signed certificate for local testing and is never invoked here.
release-please cannot drive the VERSIONINFO block in the resource script, which spells the version both as a comma quad and as a dotted string, so scripts/apply_version.py stamps it from version.txt before the release build configures CMake. It also has a --check mode. The committed resource moves off the stale 1.0.0.1 placeholder to the current 0.0.9.
The manifest starts at 0.0.9 rather than the four-part 0.0.9.2 that semver cannot express, so the next release will be 0.0.10, which still sorts after every existing tag.
