State of Org-roam v2 support?

[jethrokuan]

Before I release Org-roam v2, I'd like at least basic compatibility with org-roam-bibtex. Ideally, both packages should upgrade at the same time so MELPA upgrades aren't catastrophic. When org-roam-bibtex is ready, I can coordinate the upgrades of the "officially-supported" extensions to v2.

Org-roam-bibtex as of v0.6 is fully compatible with Org-roam v2. I've switched and been using them since a month or so. There is one non-critical issue not related directly to Org-roam v2, which I was going to look at after Org-roam's v2 API has stabilized to perhaps use it to address this issue, but it doesn't prevent the upgrade. I'll look at it today and tomorrow. I may also write a few concise migration tips, although the documentation is updated, so this is not strictly necessary. There will anyway be a flow of GitHub issues, regardless of whether there are migration instructions or not - many just don't read the docs, even the README, so I don't think any of this prevents Org-roam-bibtex' from being upgraded. You can just set the date and time and I'll merge v0.6 into master.

Let's set the date to 3rd July 2021 then 😄

Great! I've fixed that issue and will clean up the docs by then.

Actually let's hold this off until the v1 version of Org-roam is available in MELPA.

[myshevchuk]

Sure, when will this be? Are you going to create a separate repository?

Hi, just a quick question. If I install org-roam-bibtex now, will it support v2 by default? Thanks!

[myshevchuk]

Hi, the master branch is still on v0.5.x, which works only with Org-roam v1, this is also the version currently available from MELPA. To get v2 support, install from the org-roam-v2 branch or a tagged commit like v0.6.0-pre.3 manually. Tagged commits may be a few commits behind the head of org-roam-v2 branch.

As soon as Org-roam v2 appears on MELPA, ORB org-roam-v2 branch (v0.6+) will be merged into master and become available from MELPA, as a default and only option.

[rberaldo]

Awesome, I'll install from git then. Thanks for the detailed comment!

[myshevchuk]

Sure, thanks for trying ORB!

[jethrokuan]

I'm merging it now...

[rasendubi]

Hope we can merge #194 in before releasing v0.6 (org-roam-bibtex breaks creating non-bibtex notes without this).

Sorry guys, I was out of the town this weekend. Will fix the things shortly.
