Consider upgrading aether and pomegranate #589

Closed arichiardi closed 6 years ago

arichiardi commented 7 years ago

I have recently patched cemerick/pomegranate and I was wondering whether we should have a triage or soft fork for boot.

What I basically did, following in the footsteps of the person that did the previous unmerged upgrade, was to follow a sample client which uses all the new goodies.

After a short research in the Aether bug tracker and the New and noteworthy page, there have been some nice additions there and in general it is probably worth ditch a 2013 for a 2015 implementation. Maybe.

This might solve problems or create problems, depending on the moon movements. This is why we should triage it, probably having a boot branch for it.

About this, @technomancy reviewed and further bumped the patch, which now is in pomegranate 0.4.0-alpha1.

I will try to see if I can integrate it.
