Any plan to release 2.0?

[tony612]

gRPC depends on Gun 2.0 heavily. Is there a plan to release a stable 2.0 version? Thank you!

You're welcome to sponsor the release if you want. Plans are to do a pre.3 before RCs.

[jared-mackey]

Also looking forward this release.

I am also looking forward to this release.

Feedback on the RC is welcome.

@essen, if you're still looking for a sponsor and if that would speed up the move from rc to stable, @josevalim has offered to consult the ErlEf to sponsor the release. Would you be open to this and what was your timeline for moving from the release candidate to stable release?

Getting this stable would greatly help ease the developer experience for using elixir-grpc (the main grpc library for elixir).

To be clear, I would be glad to fill in/help with the stipend request, if you are interested. I am also happy to sponsor the release itself depending on the costs. :)

Sponsor was a 2020 concern. Right now I am mostly busy with RabbitMQ. I am crunching hard to get things ready soon(tm) and I will look into releasing Gun after that.

To be perfectly clear: once I am done writing this property based test suite here: https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/pull/3029/files#diff-7acbd5459c8dbd4530b1a2620df95f95ae9062659249b26d6f9ade10501a560e I will have great confidence in the big changes I'm making and I can divert some attention to other areas. I expect to have time opening up at the end of the month.

@essen Anything the community can do to help test/prep for the 2.0 release?

[essen]

Yes you can protest the insane Covid policies of our beloved president Macron. Besides that I don't know, I'm sure there's a PR or two that need to be looked at.

@essen How can we help with the 2.0 release? Is there a roadmap somewhere with what's missing in 2.0.0-rc.2?

[essen]

Taking on #243 (comment) would help. Small PRs to move this forward.

I will have some time in August to finish my work on the cookie test suites and make sure everything is up to date with specs.

[essen]

It's out.
