Future of this crate? #12

Open faern opened 10 months ago

faern commented 10 months ago

Currently it's not possible to build and use colorspace 0.1.0 (the only version on crates.io) on any recent Rust version. This was fixed in commit 7bb5f1f, but no release has been cut since. It would be really nice to be able to use this library without resorting to git dependencies.

Future of this crate?

I don't know what kind of maintenance level or burden you are willing to accept for this crate at this point. I can see that the only release is a bit old, and not a whole lot has happened on the main branch since. That's fine, it's a free library and no one can expect work to be done for them etc. But I just want to post this to see what your thought on the topic is.

Iff you don't intend to spend time on this crate, are you willing to add other maintainers? I'm not sure I have the colorimetry knowledge (yet), nor the time (right now), to be a maintainer of this crate. But I think knowing the answer to this question is relevant for anyone interested in the topic of this issue.

Alternatives?

To my knowledge this is the only Rust crate on crates.io dealing with spectral data (converting it into color spaces). And the only crate containing definitions for standard illuminants, color matching functions and other generally useful measurement data used in colorimetry. Or does anyone know other good crates in this area?

I'm in the same situation, and would like to build new project with this crate.

Would be nice to have at least a new version of this crate available.

Im not sure how far this is possible but being able to read an ocio config file to make sure the conversions match the rest of the pipeline seems like a must to me.
