Roadmap and ideas for arrow 馃 #512
Comments
Agree, would appreciate GitHub releases to match the PyPI releases at least. |
Yep I just spent some time figuring out what's the difference between 0.12.0 and 0.12.1 because HISTORY.md was not updated to list the new (bugfix) release. Turns out it's just some dependency changes so nothing big, but it would be great if the HISTORY.md would be updated to contain this version. |
A tag would be very helpful |
@systemcatch thanks, much better! |
Version 0.13.0 is going to be released very soon. Quite a few changes will be coming. |
Version 0.13.0 is now available on PyPi, I'll make the tag/release on here soon. |
Awesome. Since this is already being done, I'm gonna close this issue. Thanks maintainers! |
I might as well use this issue to talk about future ideas & plans for arrow. First thing I'm going to do is update the documentation as it's out of date. 鉁旓笍 There's some recurring issues that need to be fixed.
Ideas for dealing with get()
DST fixes
Obviously we need to fix general bugs as well. Other ideas
|
Now that Python 3.7 is supported I'm going to make a new 0.13.1 release shortly. |
Please don't! That will probably make a lot of people unhappy (me included).
I'd personally like the "deprecation warning" approach, maybe with a possible "loose" keyword arg so people who upgrade to the newer version can still fall back to the old behavior? I think the "strict" behaviour should be the default. When going this route I'd also suggest very explicitly documenting which behaviours are allowed and which are considered "loose".
I like this, because like you say Other than that, I personally think arrow is in a pretty good state. I wouldn't change too much. |
Don't worry it's not even an option at this point.
The first thing to do is define exactly what we're trying to prevent happening, I basically know what it is in my head but it needs to more thorough/explicit before we can find a solution.
How do you think we should go about implementing the change?
Yup I don't think we need to do any major revamps, just slowly make small improvements and bugfixes. |
If it were my project I'd release one (or multiple, depending on the other issues that need to be fixed) minor version change where the Isn't that how the change from Maybe others could chime in on how they think about this change. |
I'll be doing some updates to the docs then releasing 0.13.2 in the next few days. edit: 0.13.2 is out! |
Once the last few tooling update PR's are merged we'll release 0.13.3 |
@systemcatch could we organize release goals and ideas in a GitHub Project? Having issues we want to tackle clearly laid out could entice more contributors to help out. |
I think it is paramount that we tackle issues with |
@jadchaar that's a good idea, we could use more structure. You mean like a project for each major release version (0.15.0, 0.16.0 etc etc)?
On reflection I think the next version should be 0.14.0 since there's some big changes incoming. |
@systemcatch We could have a large project board detailing all the features we want to add (e.g. all in the backlog) and each new planned release can be a separate column. We can then pull in issues from the backlog as we see fit for a release and work on the issues. A full kanban board would not work IMO since open source moves slowly, but I do think it is valuable to organize the ideas into a backlog and pull into a potential release column. I agree with the |
It's worth looking at what went wrong with the 0.14.0 and 0.14.1 releases since we don't want to make quick releases for broken installs a habit. Can we be sure that our builds/tests would catch something like this in the future? |
I agree. That is the reason I worked to implement tox in the Travis environment. The build issue in 0.14.0 would have been caught by tox in the Travis builds since it runs the tests against a packaged version of arrow (I.e. it will go through the packaging process, thus detecting errors in setup.py). As for the issue in 0.14.1, that鈥檚 something the tests wouldn鈥檛 catch because it only occurred for individuals that don鈥檛 use UTF-8 encoding (e.g. because they live in a different region). We just need to be cognizant going forward and remember to specify an encoding whenever we open a file for reading or writing, which we probably won鈥檛 do considering the scope of work for arrow. |
@jadchaar nice ok well that's good to know. I've setup a project board for new features in arrow at https://github.com/crsmithdev/arrow/projects/1 What I suggest we do is go through the backlog of old pull requests and close any that are stale and abandoned, but link them to the original issue for reference. Likewise let's have a final clear through the issues to try and thin them down. For 0.15.0 the choice is either get() improvements or DST. get() produces worse bugs but DST is a big missing feature. |
0.14.4 has just been released, it's essentially fixes a bug introduced in 0.14.3 and tries to correct some of the problems with backports.lru_cache that we've never been able to reproduce. Most of the improvements on the 0.15.0 branch (https://github.com/crsmithdev/arrow/tree/Version-0.15.0) are complete and we're just writing tests + cleaning things up. Read #612 if you haven't already, arrow's parsing will become a lot more robust and strict. There is a chance this will cause some people's code to break, hence all the warnings being thrown in 0.14.3+. We will release minor patches in 0.14.5 and maybe 0.14.6 to give further time for people to prepare. In terms of a release date date for 0.15.0 I think end of August is a realistic goal. |
0.15.0 is now available! Please use it and give us feedback! |
Hey everyone, we're discussing our strategy for Python 2 EOL in #739. You should check it out if you're still using 2.7. |
Quick update, me and Jad have been very busy with life stuff over January hence the lack of activity on the repo. I've been fixing some the DST bugs on another branch, but progress has been very slow. |
0.15.6 has just been released, several new features and bugfixes which I'll describe in the changelog. |
Hey everybody, we're approaching the 1.0.0 release which is a big thing! 馃槃 I think this issue has served it's purpose and can be closed now. |
This thread was originally opened to request GitHub release and changelogs. That has been done, and the thread is now used as roadmap and ideas. Scroll to the bottom to see them. Thanks @crsmithdev and maintainers!
