I made this PR <https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter_core/pull/97> earlier this week to get ready to release jupyter-core 4.3. It is a tiny release (add support for one environment variable). Is there anything more that I should do before cutting that release?
I just opened this issue <https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter_client/issues/238> for releasing jupyter-client 5.0. It is a major version bump due to a technically backward-incompatible change (timezone-aware datetime objects), but it is still a ‘small’ release, since that is in a feature that is rarely used (only in IPython parallel, to my knowledge, which already supports the changes in master). Should I open an issue on project-mgt about this? I think a release calendar is tough for many repos, as most won’t have planned releases until a certain amount of changes have been accumulated. Communicating upcoming major releases for the bigger user-facing projects (notebook, ipython, nbconvert) is definitely important. The mailing list seems like the most logical place to signal "We're trying to get ready for release, please help with extra testing, catching regressions, etc." that should catch people who don't follow GitHub issues. I made this page <https://release-page.jovyan.org> as an exercise a while ago, which summarizes how much we have that’s unreleased. It doesn’t give an indicator of how close we are to any given release, but it does (roughly) indicate how much we have unreleased, which can be used as a reminder to start pushing toward a release, especially on the easily forgotten smaller repos. -Min On Fri, Feb 10, 2017 at 2:59 AM, Steven Silvester <[email protected]> wrote: I like the idea of handling the tracking and coordination on the > https://github.com/jupyter/project-mgt and having a snapshot in the > weekly dev meeting report as well. > > > > On Wednesday, February 8, 2017 at 9:12:24 PM UTC-6, Matthias Bussonnier > wrote: >> >> Hello all, >> >> It recently came to the attention to some of us that with the >> increasing number of projects we have it can be hard to follow when >> packages are going to be released, which often leads to very short >> windows of time to give feedback or test the new version with existing >> software. >> >> For example, several developers were surprised yesterday with the >> announcement of an upcoming notebook 5.0 release, and are now >> struggling to catch up on what is new and to test their >> plugins/extensions.
