Release 3.0

[ku1ik]

Branch for last pre-release fixes. As this is major release we can look for some stuff to change. I don't see anything else other than what I updated in these few commits.

Do you have anything to add here @olleolleolle ? I added you as author to gemspec as you're the maintainer. Feel free to revert if you don't like it.

@sickill Thanks for adding my name to the credits list. I'm OK with it. I'm a maintainer, so we're 2 now.

[ku1ik]

Yes, I often mistake the for a ;)

@sickill Now, if we're targetting 2.1+, we have support for Refinements. Then, the Refinements PR could be brushed up and added.

[ku1ik]

Aha, that's good idea!

[ku1ik]

Also realized that having refinements we can drop the legacy String mixin support completely.

[olleolleolle]

@sickill Would it be right to drop in the Refinements thing now (during a major update), and force people to change their usage, or is that a lot to ask of people which depend on this library? (The cost of being popular: can't change. "Avoid success at all costs" --Simon Peyton Jones)

[ku1ik]

Hmm, good point about popularity. It's not harmful to keep the old String mixin. What we could do:

• add refinements in 3.0
• keep the mixin in 3.x line, so it works for existing codebases, but remove it from README now so new people only use refinements
• remove mixin in 4.0

Sounds good?

[olleolleolle]

@sickill That sounds prudent, 👍
