Timeframe for 2.0.0

[paulo-ferraz-oliveira]

Hi. First of all, thanks for gun. This is not a complaint, a bug or a feature request, but a request for information 😄. We've been depending on gun 2.0.0-rc.1 for a while now and were wondering when you expect 2.0.0 to come out, now that OTP 24.0 is also out. This is especially important so that we depend on a "stable" reference and so that some other lib.s we use (that depend on gun) also benefit from that. Feel free to close the issue after replying if you feel it's not relevant to keep it open until the version is out.

It's mostly a matter of finding the time to finish up. It would help if people were running the current master as there's been larger last minute changes (gun_pool). Perhaps I will cut an rc.2 to help with that.

Perhaps I will cut an rc.2 to help with that.

That'd be nice.

Should remove this as it's no longer necessary. Might be more in other files: https://github.com/ninenines/gun/blob/master/src/gun.erl#L18-L20

What about a hex package that can compile with OTP24 as well? Perhaps a 2.0 can be released with a clear documentation of the use cases not implemented yet, and later on a finalised 2.1 release can go?

[essen]

Everything is implemented and I've recommended people use 2.0 for some time.

@NelsonVides, I wrote (initial description) "now that OTP 24.0 is also out" and it's why I waited to do this request, here.

IIRC, gun already IS 24-ready, it's just not tagged 😄

I have released 2.0.0-rc.2 please test and provide feedback. Bonus points if you can test gun_pool as well but that's not required for this release as it's still experimental.

We've tested rc2 in Kraigie/nostrum for a little while and all seems well.

Is there any news on when this is released? We've been able to dumb down a lot of logic with the rc so would love to be able to get it out.

[essen]

I think it's good to go so it's just a matter of reviewing the PRs/tickets and do the release. It'll take some time as I am busy with other things. But I will soon be doing some benchmarking so I will have some free time to fill.

In any case I'm closing this ticket, feel free to open a discussion instead if you want.

[essen]

It's out.
