Hi,

when do you plan to release the first version of caddy-ratelimit? Or do you not plan to introduce releases at all?

Regards

Haven't really had requests for it. Releases for Caddy plugins isn't always needed because you can build from any commit so easily with xcaddy or our download page. Why would you like a release?

sowinski commented 5 months ago

Because if gives the user a feeling of safety. I would suggest that a release is more stable/used/tested as a continues repository.

That's just your perception though. That's not the truth. There's no practical difference between there being releases or not.

But having releases is one extra step we'd have to take every time if we start doing it. If we have one release, we need to continue making releases forever, adding a bit of work to maintaining this repo, because of how Go modules determine which git ref to use.

Yep, a release only means something if it means something. If we just tag a release but don't do anything else differently, then we're not really helping anything.
