Release 1.0.0 version

[vlsi]

Hi, thanks for sharing bruno. Unfortunately, it is common for people to treat 0.x versions as "unstable", so they are inherently reluctant to using such "unstable" versions.

I believe bruno 0.25 is mature enough to be released as 1.0.0. WDYT?

Updates from @helloanoop Release 1.0.0 planned to go live on Sunday, Oct 29th 2023

[Its-treason]

Hey @vlsi, we want to implement more feature and polish the App before releasing V1! Anoop made an extensive roadmap to V1 here: https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/discussions/384 to track the development process.

[vlsi]

I fully understand your intention, and I appreciate the roadmap. However, what do you think of releasing one of the upcoming versions as 1.0.0, and implement "all your 1.0 plans in 2.0" instead?

I believe the current set of features qualifies for 1.0, and users would be equally happy to get "OAuth in Bruno 2.0". As for me, releasing 1.0 today is a "cosmetic-only" change, however, I believe it is important for building the community, and 0.x versioning is indeed distracting many users.

Here's some context behind the ask: I just chatted on "let's convince someone to deliver a Bruno-related talk on a testing conference", and the other person said "oh, the tool does not have 1.0 yet so it is not mature enough". I'm not pushing you here, however, it looks like you might be falling into "ah it is not ready for 1.0" trap while the tool might already be quite helpful for many users.

The story reminds me Terraform which was in 0.1..0.15 for many years, and they eventually renamed it to 1.0 with virtually no changes.

I agree with @vlsi on his point. Though it is respectable that you try to stick to the roadmap and ship all planned features in 1.0, I would like the versioning not be a clincher to stop someone while trying to address the elephant in the room (based on the recent events).

May be if OAuth is almost done (I remember seeing on the issue that it should be ready to be live anytime sooner), I would love an 1.0 with what we have right now + OAuth.

Just sharing my opinion.

[helloanoop]

I mostly agree. I will revisit the roadmap and see what items make sense to be delivered as a part of v2.

Also agree with the notion that v1 need not have all the bells and whistles, it just needs to be stable enough where a team can use Bruno in production with its current feature set (And I agree that Bruno is already there)

I feel we should be able to close in on v1.0 by end of October.

I also will be presenting Bruno at India FOSS 3.0 event which is happening in Oct 28-29. It's a good idea to announce v1.0 there. Tag the commit 1.0 live during the end of the talk and push it.

Let's keep this ticket open. I will come back with the list of items that I feel are priority for v1 release and we can discuss over it.

[helloanoop]

We are set to launch v1.0.0 on October 29, 2023, with our stable feature set.

While I would have preferred to complete the OAuth2 and cookies features before announcing V1, the time left is too short. I also need to prepare for my IndiaFoss 3.0 Talk & Project Showcase. Unfortunately, I fell sick during the recent 4-day holiday in India, which dashed hopes of getting these across the goal line.

v1.0.0 is not about having all the features but rather a message that our current platform is stable and suitable for use in production settings by teams. Many teams find our existing Bruno version to be perfectly sufficient for their needs.

It took 2 years to advance from 0.1.0 to 0.12.0 And 1 month to go from 0.12.0 to 0.27.0 (since the rise that began on Sep 28th 2023)

We've been releasing updates every alternate day for the past month. This incredible pace of development would not have been possible without the dedication, love, and contributions from our vibrant community. We've received valuable code contributions, identified and addressed issues, and gathered essential feedback.

Looking forward to Sun Oct 29th 2023.

Best, Anoop

Dont worry, health always comes before work and just because your not getting paid does not mean its not work 😉

@helloanoop was that v1.0.0 release intentional? 😄 looks a bit weird that only a single new feature made it into v1 and it wasn't even one listed in the v1 milestone.

general question just out of curiosity: how will you further manage versioning? will you follow the semver scheme? what are the milestones actually suppose to mean for that project?

The reason is explained in the history of this issue :) The changelog is somewhat incomplete though, it appears to be generated from the changes between 0.27.3 and 1.0.0 even though 0.27.3 never got released.

[dw-0]

Good point, didn't noticed that. And yeah, i understood the reason behind a near v1 release and i agree with it. I just wondered about THAT v1 release :)

[Zer0x00]

Can this issue be closed since v1.0.0 is now released?

There is also a pretty relevant PR that was waiting for the v1 release: https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/pull/493

@vlsi @helloanoop Can you please close this? it's resolved :)
