Wondering about the status of releases

[neonfuz]

Hello,

I am wondering about the status of releases of eureka-editor. The website says 1.27b is the latest release, however that is quite old and I see a lot of work happening here. Do you plan on starting releases again?

I also see the ongoing v2.0 project. Is this when you will resume tagging releases?

The reason I am wondering is I maintain the eureka-editor package on nixpkgs and would like to be able to include updates if they are stable.

Thank you

Hi. Yeah, quite a bit of work is ongoing, but I have a tendency to do lots of "maintenance"/"improvement" stuff too, with no designated feature goal, just mainly to improve the code itself. The main blocker to a new official release is that I want to set in place a full unit test coverage, because I don't want to risk releasing a crashing app. It's aggravating to lose progress because the app crashes. With whatever refactoring I'm doing here, crashes may happen if I don't implement unit tests, and I already had users who tried some development builds and lost their work.

A typical issue with such a hobby project like this is that I tend to really take my time with it...

But yeah: once I have full unit test coverage, I want to make more frequent releases, like bi-yearly, monthly or maybe even continuously (using automatic update recommendations like in the Doom Builder family of editors). Sadly, adding unit tests can be tedious, so this one can take time...

Sounds good, that makes sense. Well when you do start doing releases again, the github releases system would be a great way to notify us so we can make it available quickly. Thanks for your hard work on this project!

Hi @neonfuz, release 2.0.2 is available, I've looked now at nixpkgs and it's still 1.27b there, just letting you know, and thanks for maintaining the package!
