v8

[bergmark]

Hi, thanks for the library! Any plans to make a release out of this? I would very much appreciate it :-)

Just waiting for https://github.com/Keats/jsonwebtoken/issues/120 to be solved in a satisfying way. I won't have time for it in the short term so I will take PRs for it, as mentioned in the issue.

@Keats - Just wanted to let you know: Thank you so much for maintaining this library. It makes it so much more easier for the ecosystem to build http servers that use a JWT authentication mechanism, thanks to this library. It's been working beautifully well so far and I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the work you're doing :grimacing:

[Keats]

Thanks for the kind words @rakshith-ravi !

Hi @Keats! Thanks for maintaining this. I'd love to get v8 out so I can use the EdDSA algorithm without using the betas. Any chance you know when that is and is there anything I can help with?

[Keats]

Just need to handle https://github.com/Keats/jsonwebtoken/issues/190 and ideally https://github.com/Keats/jsonwebtoken/pull/119#issuecomment-867873222

Hi @Keats, thanks for maintaining this great library! I was wondering if there were any blockers left for the v8 release and whether there's room for contributions to get rid of these blockers?

[Keats]

No blockers, beta 7 will likely be the v8 but it would be nice to have more feedback since there are a few breaking changes

[tiptenbrink]

@Keats any specific things that require extra feedback?

[Keats]

Just testing all the features and making sure everything works, I'd like to avoid having to release a major version three days after v8 release because I forgot one thing and it requires a breaking API change.
