Can a new version be released to make it easier to take advantage of developments? #652

Hi, thanks for the really cool package.

I've used this package in the past to track some features in fluid dynamics simulations and I'm coming back to it now to resume that tracking. I noticed there's been some significant development since the latest release (which was in 2019) but that didn't make it's way into pypi.

I wonder if you'd consider releasing a new version to make it easier to use and to keep track of those changes. I know the user can always clone the repo and install the latest version locally, but that makes it hard to keep track of which version of the package you're using for your application and can thus have reproducibility implications.

Thanks!

@tomchor Thanks for urging us to make a release. I’d like to first get the test passing again, after that, we’ll do a release.

Sounds good! I appreciate it :)

Pinging @nkeim @rbnvrw @tacaswell @danielballan are you OK with releasing v0.5.0? It is a maintenance release, but we drop support for some python and numpy versions (#645), so I think a minor version bump is justified.

I updated the milestone https://github.com/soft-matter/trackpy/milestone/6 with some small things to fix before the release.

Yes, sounds good.

caspervdw commented 3 years ago

Version v0.5.0 is now on PyPI. Conda-forge will follow soon.

Great! Thanks!

I'm closing this issue since this resolves it.
