v1.9 is coming!

[samuelcolvin]

Hi all,

v1.9 is VERY overdue, but we're nearly there.

My plan before release:

• merge any open PRs with the "ready for review" label - currently there are 3, all basically ready to merge
• create a pre-release v1.9a1 and encourage people to test it before release - I guess I'll give people a week?
• test v1.9a1 on projects where I use pydantic
• release v1.9

My aim is to get the new release out this year.

Are there any other PRs you really really want in this release? If so please comment below.

Similarly if you find a bug with this release, please create an issue and link to it here.

These two typing issues would be good to resolve before release:

• Remove __root__ from BaseModel typing-only attrs #3540
• https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/pull/2721/files#r771881485

#2650 is a breaking change and should probably be marked as such - custom encoders might not be equipped to handle BaseModels.

I reckon #3201 and #3182 are important to fix regressions in master/main.
The PR on dataclasses could be very nice too since it fixes a lot of issues. I'll see what I can do on Monday or Tuesday.
Computed fields can and should definitely wait for v1.10: it's a big and impactful change that cannot be rushed and needs perf tests

Thanks both. I'll look at these.

I meant to close this to use the discussion which is linked from the release #3538.

I'll move your comments across.

My mistake to create this, please use #3538 instead.
