Will there be 0.18?

A lot has been added since 0.17, but from what I see, a lot of the features are in development or not fully completed. I do agree that a 0.18 release would be very nice.

+1 for a new release

Me too, this blocks a new release of pygit2. What in turn blocks the very much needed changes to the pygit2 API.

I am very open to a 0.18 release, at this point. We've been hoping, as you know, for a 1.0, but I think there are so many pending changes that we should probably get 0.18 out, accept that it is a disruptive change, and then know that the 0.18 -> 1.0 change will not be as radical (which, in my mind, is actually a good thing).

Some thoughts on what we might want to do prior to an 0.18 tag:

• agreement from @vmg and other repo owners that this is a good idea
• get the new cache merged (i.e. New caching #1454)
• get some form of the merge engine merged (either Merge trees #1389 or some variant thereof)
• get @yorah's long-pending Correctly return matched pathspec when passing "*" or "." #1367 merged
• finalize any remaining iterator APIs to merge (such as Introduce a refs iterator #1385 and possibly a status iterator, too)

That's probably enough. There are a few other PRs that are worth merging, but I wouldn't consider them release blockers (maybe #1450 and #1459 since they are known pending API changes).

Thoughts?

@arrbee why so many things before 0.18? Just release and for each one of those things to be merged make another 0.x release? This will give a lot more testing to the api and to the code itself...

@nacho agree

This is long time overdue. Don't even need to make release notes detailing what has changed since 0.17, just a tag and a tarball, and merging development into master. This would make happy a lot of people.

I only meant to keep the discussion moving, not say that that had to be the list. Those are mostly items where the code is written and are just pending review and merge, but that will have implications for bindings and performance that would be nice to tackle right away. That being said, I was thinking that was a list that was achievable by the end of next week. If it seems longer after discussion, then I agree we shouldn't wait for anything that's more than a couple days of extra work.

Okay, had some offline chat with folks and I think we've got agreement to tag a v0.18.0 release next week.

For reference, a roughly correct current state of things regarding changes from v0.17.0 to the proposed v0.18.0 would be:

I suspect a couple of further tweaks might go in (for example, if git_revparse_rangelike is renamed to git_revparse) but this is roughly right, I think.

@arrbee That's good news! Thanks.

indeed thanks a lot

Another changed external

• git_branch_tracking -> git_branch_upstream

And an added one

• git_branch_set_upstream

Just so no one is surprised, we're going to hold off a day before tagging a release. It doesn't seem like a good day for a release.

We did merge a couple of PRs today, so if possible, please look over the head of the development branch and make sure there are no surprises before we tag v0.18 tomorrow.

And, as promised:

f124ebd

Play around with it. We'll be tagging 1.0preview1 during the Git Merge (11 May) if everything goes according to plan.

Thanks, just released pygit2 v0.18.0 and uploaded to pypi.

I just finished testing the build on my machine and I'll be updating my
ppa to 0.18.0.
