Any plans for 0.8.0?

[steveklabnik]

It's been five months and almost 200 commits since 0.7.0, just curious if/when 0.8.0 would get cut. Thanks!

[posborne]

Yeah, it is overdue. I think we just go ahead and cut one now. Thought @kamalmarhubi @fiveop @nix-rust/nix-maintainers ?

[kamalmarhubi]

I'm tempted to ask for a libc release, and then there's a tiny improvement we can get to one recently merged PR that I can't find right now :/

[kamalmarhubi]

@posborne let's wrap up a few outstanding PRs that are really close, then release? And no later than Friday...

[kamalmarhubi]

Ok, I propose we let the following PRs get merged then cut 0.8:

• Added BaudRate enum for termios #518 (BaudRate enum), waiting on Added baudrate constants. rust-lang/libc#530 which looks close to done
• Add ppoll() #520 (ppoll(2)), waiting on Add ppoll() for all unix platforms rust-lang/libc#537 which also looks close
• Specify Rust minimum version requirements #522 (README mentions Rust version requirement)

[kamalmarhubi]

Those libc PRs are merged. Asked for a release in rust-lang/libc#539

[fiveop]

In the future, anyone of us should feel free to bump the version whenever a few changes have accumulated. Given how we seem to work on this project in spurts, this will not happen more often than once a month anyway :)

[asomers]

Can we please wait for the release until after PR #506 finishes? That PR changes an API that was introduced after 0.7.0.

[kamalmarhubi]

Quick status update: libc release is blocked on rust-lang/libc#538 (unrelated but soon-to-be-merged).

[kamalmarhubi]

Selfishly going to add #540 and #541 to the blocking list. 👿

[Susurrus]

I'd also like to nominate #527 which is done and just waiting on CI to finish.

[kamalmarhubi]

@Susurrus I think you'll get your chance: yesterday's S3 outage delayed rust-lang/libc#538... :-)

[kamalmarhubi]

@Susurrus I'm going to push a PR to bump to v0.8.0 now. We'll get your changes in soon. There's no reason we went five months between releases; it's certainly not a policy!

[Susurrus]

@kamalmarhubi Ack.

This is now tagged and published. Need to figure out how to get the changelog in the github release page some time.
