Next release of Crusader? #77

Closed richb-hanover closed 1 month ago

richb-hanover commented 1 month ago

I seem to be running out of things to complain about :-) Is it time to start thinking of another release?

Here are my outstanding questions. Do you want to address any of them?

Better error message when peer can speak to server #73
Changing order of the plots colors both in GUI and in the PNG https://github.com/Zoxc/crusader/issues/64#issue-2501082035 (You have not responded to this in the past. Perhaps you are not inclined to make this change...?)
I can live with #74 and #75 in the current state.
I noticed an odd commit hash in the GUI I built just now. The client log shows [2024-09-15 10:03:46] Client version 0.2.1-dev (commit 648f15b) running. But this obviously is the latest fd4c064 because the stats are there, and the button was "Latency only". This isn't anything to hold up a new release, just a curiosity...

Thanks!

@Zoxc PS I want to emphasize that I think Crusader is getting extremely good... Thanks again

That can probably be done after a 0.3 version.

I noticed an odd commit hash in the GUI I built just now.

The build script that fetches the Git commit runs when crusader-lib changes which didn't happen here.

Changing order of the plots colors both in GUI and in the PNG

I'd need to change the egui_plot crate for that.

These are all great answers. Do you think we're looking at a 0.3 release soon? (That would delight me, and maybe also Dave Täht, who's giving a talk on Wednesday...)

As I see it, we'd need to do the following:

No code changes (unless you know of any burning issues)
Bump the version to 0.3 (or 1.0?)
Build the releases, push to the Releases page
Update screen shots in the README showing the new version number
Publish an UNDERSTANDING.md page, with the text similar to #78 (I'd welcome your comments)
Final editorial pass over all the documentation

I could do the last three items within 24 hours of getting the new release (so I can take screen shots) Thanks

Well you got yourself a release and some plot legend reordering.

Thanks! The 0.3 release is a thing of beauty! I'd like to get comments on the documentation PR. Thanks again

PS - Crusader was mentioned a couple times at today's Linux Plumbers conference session: https://lpc.events/event/18/contributions/1967/attachments/1491/3153/State%20of%20the%20Bloat.pdf

Congratulations!
