New release soon / more frequent releases?

aliceisjustplaying commented 1 month ago

A whole lot has happened since the last release and while we may not have 1.2 yet, my two cents is it'd be worth considering a new 1.1.whatever release, given all the fixes etc.

Also in general, perhaps it's worth considering doing new releases more frequently? And/or retargeting what we want for 1.2?

A simple target for the next release soon could be merging #2558, fixing #2559 and setting up 64-bit RPi releases in #2188.

Thoughts @nesbox?

Personally, I'd like to release a new version when the scripts start working as shared libs, I'm working hard on this right now here #2257 and I'm very close to the end :)

I don't contribute to the code so these are just some thoughts/suggestions of fixes that could be done before the release, I let you judge:

The "dev mode" on by default is a recurrent debate https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80/issues/1950 It could be solved by keeping the settings when updating TIC-80 https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80/issues/2531 . I also think advertising the Esc+F1 hotkey in the menu would help newcomers https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80/issues/2274 (or advertise the existence of the "dev mode")
An other recurrent discussion concerns the navigation in the code editor, there are many opened issues proposing different solutions. I recently advertised better the outline in the wiki, but my preferred solution would be to use bookmarks and therefore to solve: https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80/issues/1979

IMHO we should really consider semantic versioning. In that case most every release would be minimally a minor release. Ie

1.2 1.3 1.4

Etc
