Is there an officially tagged release?

[cdalvaro]

No... 😞

Hi @cdalvaro, thanks for the pull request. For us to consider including json11 as Homebrew formula, we need it to have stable, released versions with clear versioning scheme: https://docs.brew.sh/Acceptable-Formulae We are, for now, going to decline this pull request.

Thank you for your comment @fxcoudert!

This library is built and maintained by Dropbox and their last commit was on Jun 21, 2017.
It is a really stable library.

The version is annotated in the CMakeLists.txt file. (project(json11 VERSION 1.0.0 LANGUAGES CXX)) although they don't have any release in their repository on GitHub neither tags.

Could be possible to accept this pull request despite the inconveniences?

[SMillerDev]

From the acceptable formula requirements:

We don’t accept software without a tagged version because they regularly break due to upstream changes and we can’t provide bottles for them.

It really just breaks a part of homebrew if we would do that.
You could set it up in a personal tap though.

[cdalvaro]

I'll try to get a tag or release version of the library.

Thank you for your attention @SMillerDev!

[cdalvaro]

Finally there is a 1.0.0 version for the library.

Please @SMillerDev, could you reopen this PR in order to update the Homebrew formula?

Thank you very much!

I think it'd be better to make a new pull request.
