Sorry coming on this late. Linking with parallaxsecond/parsec#527, is there any reason why we upstreamed a new alpha version? Is the expectation that we are going to upstream a 7.0.0 soon once the alpha release is seemed to work normally?

Yeah the alpha versions are not pushed to crates.io I think.

Yeah the alpha versions are not pushed to crates.io I think.

It's there https://crates.io/crates/tss-esapi/7.0.0-alpha.1 and I can build parsec 0.8.1 from crates

Oh(forgot that alpha are not automatically set as latest version) well then I guess the reason is to see if there are any serious flaws in the release that would require an API breaking change to be fixed. The release contains updates that are required in order to fix bugs downstream so to get a version out that enables the build of the new downstream version and get that tested while still being able to change the API in breaking way if required is what the purpose of the alpha release is.

And another thing. In order for Parsec 0.8.1 to be published to crates.io I think its dependencies needs to published there as well.

Found Ionut's message on Slack explaining that the next release was going to be an alpha (because a lot of things changed in the API so we need some time before making a new release).
