09/12/2022, 4:25 PM@lemon-wall-20836 or @loud-jewelry-99127 have you all documented the release cycle? I remember Adrian said it in a video somewhere, but it's not clear when releases are occurring. I'm less worried about big features, but when there are small bugfixes (that limit the ability to upgrade to newly released features) two weeks seems like a long time to wait for new gem to be cut.

09/12/2022, 5:27 PMUsually how we did it was like this: if there’s a critical bug after a release, we’d fix it soon (a few hours/first, second day) and release a patch version or a prerelease so you can continue using it until we merge it to main and release a major version

09/12/2022, 5:30 PMRight. But https://github.com/avo-hq/avo/pull/1213 is an example: merged 7 days ago and I don't see a minor gem release. I wonder if a nice thing to do would be a "ship a patch version" with every main change.

09/13/2022, 7:54 AMyeah, I see what you mean
lemon-wall-20836
09/13/2022, 7:55 AMusually, I'm all for daily releases
lemon-wall-20836
09/13/2022, 7:55 AMthe bi-weekly schedule is just something to mark a "milestone"
lemon-wall-20836
09/13/2022, 7:56 AMI stopped doing the weekly releases because they take a lot of time to put together, shoot the screencast, and announce everywhere
lemon-wall-20836
09/13/2022, 7:57 AManother thing that I do is to publish a pre-release on request. Like, if you need that feature sooner, rather than later, send a comment on the PR and I'll cut a release there
lemon-wall-20836
09/13/2022, 7:57 AMdoes that sound ok?

09/13/2022, 10:37 AMHappy to request cutting a gem - I'd just prefer not to add work to your plate as there are many things you're juggling.
Bi-weekly releases (with video + write up + promo) is awesome and weekly seemed highly unsustainable/not good for the project long term. I'm just imaging a Github action that on a pr merge, auto-publishing a gem version could be something like
2.1.1-shal

09/13/2022, 10:43 AMI'll add instructions on how to use a specific github branch/commit

09/13/2022, 10:43 AMit's just the assets that need to be built

09/13/2022, 10:43 AMthanks for the feedback!
