Link v2.0

Well, here we are. Somehow, I've made it out alive of the release cycle
and now I have to do it all over again. The only difference from this
feature release and the -rc3 release is just some repository cleanup I
did yesterday. According to Levi, he should be getting back to coding
soon so at least I don't have to do this alone but we'll see if that
actually happens.

Anyways, I've started to finalize how the release and feature merging
structure will be happening from here on out. When a new feature is
submitted and accepted, it is moved to a feature branch where testing
can happen. Once it reaches a point of stability, it is merged into the
master branch for release and added to the release list.

For feature releases, I'm going to move the release candidate and
feature release day to Sunday so June 18th will be the v2.1-rc1 release
day.

Stable releases will be released every week by me and follows the same
rules as the Linux stable tree.

Anyways, thats all I have to cover for now. See you in two weeks!

P.S. I probably won't be doing GitHub releases anymore since they take
a bit too much time with formatting and some other stuff, etc. Subscribe
to ~aristonl/link-announce@lists.sr.ht for release announcements.

Link v2.0-rc3

Last release candidate for v2.0! Again, not many changes other than some documentation. One big difference was that 'linktest' now only builds if 'BUILD_LINKTEST' is defined as 'on' when configuring CMake. I don't have many plans other than some repository cleanup before the v2.0 release and then I'll save some of my other breaking changes for v2.1. I plan on doing stable releases as well but I'll figure out that whole situation before release next week.

P.S. DFTBA!

      Link v2.0-rc3

Link v2.0-rc2

Well, we're back with another release candidate. Not many changes this time around; mainly just more documentation. I do plan to look into making the proxy implementation into a class as Levi wanted before -rc3. After -rc3, I plan to release v2.0 fully and I'll give myself 2 weeks after the official v2.0 release to come up with things to do (which I've sort of already done, it's just a matter of if I can get them implemented before the v2.1 release. Anyways, that's all I have to say for now. See you again next week 👍🏽!.

P.S. DFTBA!

Changes since v2.0-rc1 are as follows:

Ariston Lorenzo (9):
      Meta: Update TASKS
      Meta: Add man pages to TASK list
      Meta: Add CREDITS file
      man: Add a simple man page for link
      man: Added info on serving files
      man: move link.1 to link.7
      man: Add SetHeader.3
      relnotes: Added note about man pages.
      Link v2.0-rc2

Link v2.0-rc1

So here it is, release candidate 1 of Link v2, which is currently the biggest
release by far. There are many changes in here since v1.0.1
released almost 3 months ago (time really goes that fast).

Some notable changes include better HTTPS support, macOS build support, and a
cookie parser. There is also significant changes to the actual Link API itself
to which linkproj will be updated accordingly (with some of the changes already
in upstream).

There are many parts of the release that haven't been implemented fully, or are
still buggy. You can still feel free to try it out to test the new API and other
new features.

See you all again in (probably) 1-2 weeks.
