Roadmap to stable v1.0.0 about stream HOT 11 CLOSED

The very first stable v1.0.0 release with LTS has just been tagged and released! 🎉

@clue For 0.x.y, x is usually considered major and y is minor. Why do you plan three breaking releases in one month? Shouldn't those changes be rather in a single release that's basically a RC of v1.0.0 then?

Thanks @kelunik, I think you're raising a very valid concern 👍

From a consumer perspective (somebody who's interested in using a stable v1.0.0) this doesn't really matter, as the v1.0.0 will be released at the same date, irrespective of how many intermediary releases there are. In other words: This roadmap is also set up so that in case you don't want to receive too many breaking changes within the next month, simply wait for the stable v1.0.0 release.

The intermediary v0.x releases are mostly meant for integrators who already build on the existing versions and want a safe upgrade path (the CHANGELOG will list what needs to be changed). These releases DO contain some minor BC breaks, but they're in fact compatible for the most part. Getting these releases out early also helps with updating our other components (such as the HTTP server component), because they require some (but not all) of the changes along the path to the next stable version.

I hope this helps 👍

@clue The issue with multiple major versions is that version conflicts are way more likely to happen, e.g. if some projects upgrade to ^0.6, but others stay at ^0.4. In some cases ^0.4 || ^0.5 || ^0.6 could be used, but that's not the way people usually do it.

@kelunik Yes, version conflicts are more likely to occur if we release more versions with breaking changes, but this is a trade-off we're willing to take in order to ease the upgrade path to the stable v1.0.0 release. As you've rightfully pointed out, most(!) consumers will in fact be able to target multiple major versions in the meantime. Ultimately, this should be resolved either way once the stable v1.0.0 is out in a few weeks anyway 👍

Afaict there are no plans to get this in for v1.0.0 at the moment. May I ask you to comment on this ticket if you feel this is something that should block this release? 👍

I guess it needs a new method and thus breaks BC otherwise, but not sure.

Updated now that the v0.7.0 release is out

Unless we find any major blockers, there's hope that this is the last noteworthy release before we get to tag this as v1.0.0 🎉
