Versioning
---------------
----------
RSS Guard uses semantic versioning. The versioning scheme is `X.Y.Z`, where:
* `X` marks major release version. This number will change very rarely and indicates critical new changes breaking backward compatibility.
* `Y` indicates that there is new major feature available.
* `Z` indicates that there are newly fixed bugs or small features introduced.

RSS Guard is compilable only and only with Qt 5.7+. You also need C++ 11 compiler. Note that if you clone Git repository and you wish to make packages for Windows, then you must initialize all submodules within obtained repository before compilation.

Server/client cron-like mode
----------------------------
RSS Guard supports server/client mode which enables you to fetch your message to your data server and then use those data and view them in another RSS Guard instance.
On the server:
1. Install RSS Guard to your data server.
2. Install MariaDB SQL server.
3. Start SQL server and launch RSS Guard with GUI.
4. Set MariaDB SQL server as RSS Guard data storage and restart RSS Guard.
5. Setup RSS Guard to periodically check for feeds/messages updates and load desired feeds.
6. Now, start RSS Guard in non-gui minimal mode with `rssguard -c` command. You can start this command after your server boots.
Now your RSS Guard server instance is ready and running. It will check for new messages periodically and store them to MariaDB SQL server. Now, you need to setup your client.
On the client machine:
1. Install and launch RSS Guard.
2. Set MariaDB SQL server as RSS Guard data storage and restart RSS Guard.
3. Now, you should see feeds/messages which were fetched by RSS Guard server instance.
Goal of this approach is that your RSS Guard server instance can run forever and check for new messages even when you sleep. You then just launch RSS Guard in your client machine, and all messages will be there.

Alternatively, you can check [localization files](https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard/tree/master/localization) by yourself and use [Qt Linguist](http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtlinguist-index.html) for translating them.
**All translators commit themselves too keep their translations up-to-date. If some translations are not updated by their authors regularly and only small number of strings is translated, then those translations along with their teams will be eventually REMOVED from the project !!! At least 50% of strings must be translated for translation to being added to project.**
