release a new version

[xaltsc]

the latest release is 4 years old and so is the gem.

Bump! Can we please have a new gem? I'm getting the <fd-61> thing happening often too...

@filbranden about the fd-61 problem you can try this workaround if you have docker : #268 (comment)

[filbranden]

@Hettomei The kramos/vimgolf Docker image is quite inadequate since it ships Vim 7.4.488 which lacks some important features such as the g CTRL-A visual mode command. (Which, BTW, ought to be addressed...)

In any case, the "official" instructions to run it (the three liner at the top right corner) start with gem install vimgolf. (Even in cases where Docker is available, sometimes running locally is easier and more convenient, especially where Ruby is readily available.)

It looks like the <fd-61> issue was fixed by commit 3bf4116, back from 2017 (three and a half years ago.)

Looks like the Gem last release was version 0.4.8, back in 2015 (five and a half years ago.)

There were 15 commits to lib/vimgolf since release v0.4.8.

So I think there are quite a few good reasons to release a new Gem...

Are there any drawbacks of doing so?

Otherwise, can we please get a new release? Pretty please? :-)

Thanks!
Filipe

I agree with this.
