exo Release tag for 1.0

Based on the social media posts, exo 1.0 is supposed to be released (congrats!!!). However, there is no git tag, nor release for 1.0 on GitHub. Is this a mishap or is 1.0 still being worked on at the moment?

Thanks in advance!

We're working to get our build process back up so we can have the dmg actually included in the 1.0 release rather than just the source. 1.0 is ready, available on main and downloadable from exolabs.net - but reopening the repo is not quite done yet.

Ok! Thanks for the clarification. I was asking because I'm maintaining the exo package in the nixpkgs repository. To bump it, I will have to wait for the git tag.

Best of luck with the end of the release process :)

Closing this as we now have a 1.0.60-alpha tag on github

Going to temporarily re-open this. There is now "a tag" in 1.0.60-alpha* but I would suggest holding off for another couple of days before nixpkgs, I marked it as a pre-release and intend to do a substantial amount more testing before cutting the true release. Thanks for your patience!

Thanks for the update. Sure, we will wait for the final 1.0.0 tag.

Hi again, this took a little longer than expected but v1.0.61 is out now. Feel free to reopen the issue if there are any problems.

Heads up, I'm working on re-packaging mlx for nix to solve some of the gnarlier issues (like the g++12 dep, or building on 26.2 without it being available upstream since we're going to be bleeding edge for builds for a while). Let me know if any of that would be useful to upstream or for your packaging - it's available over on evan/mlnix until it's merged.

I recently worked on exo 1.0 support in nixpkgs, does this solve your issue?

Thanks! it does for MLX on linux (kinda) though the metal compiler passthrough is still up in the air. This is so cool though!
