Add tags to the repo #172

Open rchapin opened 2 years ago

rchapin commented 2 years ago

Most go projects add tags at various points in the development so that consumers of libraries can guarantee that they are getting a specific version that they know works with their code.

This project looks interesting and I was going to use it, however the fact that every time I build I am pulling from master and just hoping that nothing has changed that makes it incompatible with my application is a deal-breaker for me.

Please consider adding tags for stable versions of the library.

@rchapin thanks for creating this issue.

But I see no benefits of adding git tags to this repo.

When I use this package in some code, I just use git commit hash to refer to a version of this package. And once commit hash is added to go.mod file, it remains there forever.

This code also does not change over time. So I find using master branch for all my projects suitable.

Perhaps your situation is different. So please tell more.

Thank you.
