2024 Roadmap

[Mr0grog]

Nobody (including myself!) has done a lot of work here in the last year or so, but a couple recent issues, brought my attention back to this repo. When I first got added on as a maintainer, I made a laundry list of to-do issues, and never got half of them done. I’m currently dedicating some time this week and next week to try and get through them:

• Use promises and async/await instead of callbacks where applicable #84
• Add tests for actual metrics submission to Datadog #89
• Script versioning/publishing releases #91
• Support retries #108

Hopefully I’ll get a release out the door with all of those updates (and a few other assorted bits) before the end of the month.

There are some other, older issues that I’m not actively planning to work on. If you have a strong need for something not listed above, please comment and let me know! (PRs are always welcome, too.)

A few of these issues involve either breaking changes or require fairly complex code to support them (e.g. promises vs. callbacks). This library gets a lot of downloads on NPM, so I plan to continue deprecating-but-still-supporting the old stuff. However, that stuff eventually needs to be cleaned out, so I’m planning to fully remove most deprecated functionality in a major, breaking change in January 2025. (Maybe we’ll cut a 1.0!)
