When is the next release planned? What is the release cycle? #1238

I would like to know when the next release is planned. What is the schedule, what does it depend on, when the next version is released?

gjsjohnmurray commented 8 months ago

We're discussing this internally at the moment.

Also, would it be possible to provide alternative query results viewer interface and API in the upcoming SQL Tools releases?

While we find current results viewer sufficient, we think it would be beneficial for the whole SQL Tools and drivers ecosystem to have a new dataViewer setting and API for users to choose how SQL query results are displayed.

Currently there are limitations in integrating SQL Tools with VS Code Notebooks and there are a number of data table and other viewers in VS Code that might provide more elaborate data views when viewing results from querying various data sources your and community drivers support.

Some examples:

Data Preview

Tabular Data Viewer

@RandomFractals This is not topic of this issue to be honest. I just wanted to know, how long we have to wait for the newest release to come out. (Mostly because my PR got merged and I want to use the official package soon again - and the release cycle seems to be nonexistant - and I don't want to wait 1 year for version 0.28.1 to come out).

@DrBu7cher well, we logged our SQL Tools new feature wishes in a separate #1239 issue now, but curious what is in the next release and if there could be some monthly release schedule for the base drivers and ext. too!

gjsjohnmurray commented 7 months ago

We just published version 0.28.1 of the main extension, plus new maintenance versions of two of our drivers.

We're not currently resourced to be able to commit to a regular release schedule though.

RandomFractals commented 7 months ago

Sounds good. @gjsjohnmurray can you mark my data viewer feature request comment in this issue as off topic? I moved it out for us to work on it for the next release. Might stub out some interfaces in the new issue if you also think it would make SQL Tools more flexible for the execute query results display in webviews and VS Code notebooks with SQL code cells.
