Release timeline #6

Greetings. I am considering to leverage this library as a dependency in another production library, and I am therefore curious if there are plans to make a stable release in the near future? Currently, all releases published so far appear to be tagged as beta.

Also, regarding this statement from the README:

ATTENTION: currently works and tested only for Windows.

I tested this wrapper on GNU/Linux extensively, and it appears to function as advertised. No issues were found, except that the documentation is lacking.

Are there plans to integrate a CI (and maybe even CD) pipeline?

Thanks.

Yes, I have a plan to make stable release, but.. it depends. I have no "resources" to achieve it myself so I count for yours help ;) I only tested libpcap on Windows so nice to hear that it works correctly on Linux. Unfortunatelu I didnt even touch MacOS (I am quite unfamiliar with it) and even other Windows releases than Win7 and Win10desktop. Olso my 'english' does not allow me to create good/proper documentation. I think that 'handy' "CI/CD" for now will be enough (because it is a basic library and for now cover most original libpcap functionality - already does not require intnsive development) but.. of course I am open to any ideas/changes. Especially tests (its transpiling from origin) can/should be improved (as based on unitttest).
