Question: the road to 0.4

[gsmet]

Hi,

Could we discuss the plan to release 0.4? A couple of important bugs have been fixed and it would be nice to release something.

My 2 cents: I would like to have this fixed before the release:

• commit gmokki@c5d2c32 and gmokki@56f4729 from the PR Fix connecting to devel version of postgres #73
  -> I can merge them/update them and create a new PR with only these commits updated to work with current develop branch.
• commit: Update Maven dependencies. Also update plugin dependencies. #84
• I was wondering if we should update the Guava classes. I have something for all the classes except the *Streams classes. Did you clean unused methods in these classes to reduce the dependency to other Guava classes or did the Guava guys added a lot of stuff?

See if we can fix:
#65
#81

Thanks for your feedback.

• Fix connecting to devel version of postgres #73 Go for it, don't see a problem
• Update Maven dependencies. Also update plugin dependencies. #84 Don't see a problem
• java.lang.StackOverflowError if SQL contains C-style comments #65 Is currently not reproducible but should be an easy fix once a test case is committed
• Test failures in develop branch #81 We need to compare with mainline driver to see if the problem exists there as well because the test cases were adapted from there

Updating Guava classes is doable bit tricky. Also, so little of them is used that I am not sure it's worth it unless we found a bug. The shade plug-in did a real shitty job of slimming down the Guava classes; most likely do to the severe interdependencies of the code. For this reason the classes were copied in by hand and stripped of all but the used methods, plus those that had no dependencies. I'd say we ignore this for now.

Sorry for not having followed up. Very busy at work then vacation.

Here is the current status:

• I've merged the changes Mikko made in Fix connecting to devel version of postgres #73 in Rebased version of the patches of Mikko Tiihonen #91 . I think you or Brett can commit Rebased version of the patches of Mikko Tiihonen #91 without any issue.
• Update Maven dependencies. Also update plugin dependencies. #84 : it would be nice if either you or Brett could commit it.
• I haven't updated the Guava classes. I totally agree with you on this point.

Once these 2 PR are merged, I think it could be a good idea to release a 0.4 version as we have people reporting already fixed issues.

Edit: it might be a good idea to take a look at #89 too. But I'm not sure it's worth postponing a release if it's a complicated issue.

FWIW, we develop our new applications using 0.4-SNAPSHOT for a while without any issues and it would be great to have an official release.

Thanks!

I agree with all you've said here.

I will commit #91 & #84 ASAP. I will look into #89, although I believe it is a bit of a complicated issue and may be better off being put in the next release.

Once these are settled I'll move to 0.4 release. It is long overdue & 0.4-SNAPSHOT had been working very well for quite a while. I believe I'll have this done before Monday.

Nice. Thanks!

Hi Kevin!

Any news about the release? We're waiting for an official release before putting a few apps into production. Thanks!

[kdubb]

0.4 has finally been released... You'll notice I didn't specify which Monday 😁

Thanks Kevin!
