🚀 Release 6.2 discussion

[PureKrome]

This is a discussion about the release of version 6.2, which I'm guessing is the next release.

Checklist

• [ ] Confirm list of items/issues to include in the vNext release
• [ ] Confirm that the next release version is actually 6.2 (based on the most recent value in the appveyor.yml file in the develop branch)
• [ ] Create a PR to merge develop into master
• [ ] Release and confirm it's working.

As of the time of me posting this issue, the develop branch has 16 commits ahead of master, with these (I think) issues being related:

• #120
• #112
• #111
• #110
• #107
• #103

Questions:

what about the open PR's? Can these get accepted and merged and then we can drop a new release?

I really thought this repo was dead. :)

Issue #109 is also related, but not impacting to consumers so maybe that's why you didn't include it in your list.

I did a quick perusal of the diff between develop and master. I agree the next version would be 6.2.0.

[crmckenzie]

I still have fantasies that I'll be able to get back to it and get it updated, but the reality is it needs a new maintainer.

[Doug-Murphy]

I nominate @PureKrome for maintainer.

[PureKrome]

I don't really use this library any more, either. 😊 It's easy for me to quickly jot down an issue here and there (like this) to help get some momentum, though :)

[geertvl]

I want to help. If not directly as a maintainer, maybe fix some bugs or add some features. I would be sad to see this lib go stale.

ps.: I do have time to maintain it so feel free to involve me.

[PureKrome]

Go for it, then! post some issues with PR fixes and lets see what happens.

Hey guys @PureKrome @Doug-Murphy,

Is someone still maintaining this project?

I just realized it's been over 5 years since the last commit on master.

[Doug-Murphy]

Not to my knowledge. I never was a maintainer though. :) I just opened a couple of PRs. I don't know anything about the plan, if there even is one.

@raschmitt 👋🏻 G'Day - same here as @Doug-Murphy said. Not a maintainer, was just interested in the project and also committed to it, a few years ago.

[DHemken97]

I want to start working on open source projects like this one more in my free time, Just made a PR for a feature I think we've all wanted for a while.

[harishrathi]

I would also be happy to help... I have used this library a lot and have some free time now...

[DHemken97]

Looks like most if not all PRs were merged by @crmckenzie ... not sure if he uses GitHub anymore. I see one day of activity in January of this year, and then nothing since July of 2020. This may be an abandoned project now 😦

[crmckenzie]

I no longer work in C# professionally and have not maintained a development environment. I love this project too, but Life Happens.

[PureKrome]

Yeah - don't have much of a helpful answer here.

Basically, things like (pick none/1/some/all..):

• someone needs to be given Administrator rights to approve PR's
• repo ownership handed over to someone
• fork and go forth
• post on socials like reddit or slashdot or .. oh wait! /me checks calendar ... make a fucking toktik vid cause that's what's cool ... to get people to help maintain this repo

welcome to OSS :( the frustrating side of it.

(no i'm not raising my hand .. )

[garethdown44]

I can give admin rights - who wants them?

[raschmitt]

@garethdown44 I would be glad to help.

[DHemken97]

@garethdown44 I would as well, we would need at least 2 admins because we shouldnt be approving our own PRs

I would also like to help setup GitHub Actions for Unit test validation on PRs and auto-deployment of releases to NuGet.

[garethdown44]

Sorry for the delay - done now. Sent invites.

I thought it would make sense for someone else to be an owner, so I made @raschmitt an owner, for no other reason than he was first to comment. And then made @DHemken97 an admin. If you want to grant owner rights as well I'll leave that to you.

Sorry I can't contribute more - like @crmckenzie I haven't touched .NET for some time.

Very happy for others to take the project forward. Good luck!

[raschmitt]

Sorry for the late guys, I was on vacation and just now saw the invitation. It has expired.

@garethdown44 could you send it again?
