Publish 0.1.0 to crates? #118

Closed okdistribute closed 2 years ago

okdistribute commented 3 years ago

The latest version I see published is 0.0.2, is that intentional?

Thanks! Looking forward to using this in a project.

I haven't bothered much about releases yet, to be honest. Also, I never published a crate yet and @warner owns the access …

How badly do you need this? Personally, I am fine with putting this on the backlog until the API is stable enough for people to actually be able to use this as a library.

All good, I just found portal which i can use instead, seems to do the trick! Thanks for the quick response!

piegamesde commented 3 years ago

Thanks for digging up portal, it looks really interesting. But just to make it clear: you can totally already use Magic Wormhole as a library dependency in your project, a few already do so. But:

Thanks @piegamesde for the tips!

I would love to use it still, but as you might expect using a git repository directly can be quite troubling at times, for example, if an update or breaking change is made and some behavior of my program begins to behave in an unexpected manner.

I'd be happy to adapt my code as things change and be prepared to contribute to the project! Having some semver though I think would be really helpful to keep all client libraries stable. Periodic release cycles would include bug fixes as a patch release and new features as a minor. I think contrary to popular belief these open source libraries run by volunteers benefit from this semver (especially) in an alpha stage where things could change unexpectedly!

Happy to help with this if you need, as I'll be working on this project for the next 4 months or so and would love to try to use magic wormhole directly rather than creating my own rudimentary thing.

Cheers, K

You can already use the release with { git = "https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole.rs", version = "0.1.0" } (or something similar, I haven't looked it up in the Cargo documentation). Quite a lot has changed since then, I'll try to release a 0.2.0 soon-ish, but there are a few bugs I'd like to see fixed first.

piegamesde commented 3 years ago

I'll do a 0.2.0-rc1 release hopefully soon, as there are still one or two bugs that I have to fix. But it'll be API-compatible to the final 0.2.0 release later on. Does that suit your needs?

piegamesde commented 2 years ago

Version 0.3.0 has been released. The release will also be published on crates.io as soon as async-std has made a release.
