Release bincode 0.7

[dtolnay]

Serde 1.0 is happening in the next 6 weeks or so. Until then how about publishing bincode 0.7 with serde 0.9 support, then doing 1.0 along with us?

[TyOverby]

Sounds good!

[TyOverby]

I assume that you meant bincode 1.0.0-alpha7?

Also, are you publishing alpha versions of serde on crates.io?

[dtolnay]

Nope, I meant bincode 0.7.0 with support for serde 0.9. I am not publishing alpha versions.

[TyOverby]

Ah ok. I just published 0.7.0.

I am not publishing alpha versions.

Should I target your github branch for now then?

[dtolnay]

Publishing alpha versions is a bad idea in general because of rust-lang/cargo#2222 - see #128 (comment). I will publish release candidate versions (rc1, rc2 etc) when I am ready. I would recommend that you maintain a branch that targets serde's "1.0" branch, not publish anything to crates.io until there is a serde release candidate, and yank your existing alpha versions to push people to use bincode 0.7.
