New release?

[vanillajonathan]

It has been quite a while since the last release.

I would like to request for there to be a new release.

In the future, perhaps releases could become a bit more frequent?

There is a milestone for 2.0.15.
Note:#2956 (comment) after 2.0.15 will maintainers have rights on micro org?

This has been a frequent topic AFAICS. I am not aware of releasing process, but I wonder why are them so infrequently although there are so much commits? Is there a downside?

There is no releasing process, it's all chaotic.

Once @JoeKar is back from vacation, we might discuss making a new release soon.

There is a milestone for 2.0.15 with 2 open issues, yes. We can postpone (yet another time) fixing #2839. But #3700 we should fix before the release, since it's an actual regression introduced since 2.0.14.

Yes, I think we can do this.

But #3700 we should fix before the release, since it's an actual regression introduced since 2.0.14.

I would like to ask @JoeKar and @dmaluka for an announcement and a "freeze period" of 1 or 2 weeks before the release (when the time comes) so users can test the nightly version to catch any possible regressions.

In the current release (2.0.14), I caught a regression that was a minor inconvenience for me, but given the slow release rate, any major regression would mean getting stuck in the current version for another year.

And thanks for maintaining the repo!

I'm in the middle of refining it (about 1/3 through it) but it will require quite some work. The number of merged PRs is large, and their titles are often misleading...

[dmaluka]

Done.

[JoeKar]

Great job, thank you!

@utkarsh2102:
I think 2.0.15-1/02-use-original-fork.patch is more than counterproductive. It breaks new features (e.g. #3595 & #3895) and the whole pluginchannels-list.
From my point of view there is no need to apply this patch any longer, since we did these forks on purpose (after rebasing json5 to upstream; tcell is a more complex story).
Long story short:
Please drop this patch and create a fixed 2.0.15-2.
Thank you in advance!

Done: 2.0.15-2

Hey, I see a discussion is well-underway re: open issue count, but I can assist here if it would be of any help to current/future maintainers. Always remember your work is appreciated :)
