Why no releases since Feb?

[eherot]

Lots of useful new features in master right now but the last release was in Feb. What happened to continuous deployment? Any plans to cut a release in the near future?

Cut a release, need to keep momentum. If your worried about breaking, do a release candidate. Happy to run our jobs here with that to flush out any issues.

@fnichol Still no new release? Theres a lot of changes in the new ec2 plugin that we're waiting for. Is there a specific reason that you're holding off?

Ping other maintainers @schisamo @sethvargo

Ohai everyone 😄!

I get a GitHub notification and an email for every comment that occurs on this thread. We are not ignoring you, but continuously 👍ing an issue is super annoying. If you really need to run off master, you can clone and run rake install or if you are using Bundler, you can point at github: 'test-kitchen/kitchen-ec2'. Fletcher will release a new version when he has the time to do so. There's no need to ping other maintainers or be hostile 😄.

Sorry! @fnichol is there an ETA on a release?

I ran into the same problem and installed HEAD from the master branch to get some bugfixes I needed.

You can add it the following way (if you do not know how). Exchange chef gem with gem etc., depending on the environment you use.

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/test-kitchen/kitchen-ec2.git
cd kitchen-ec2
chef gem build kitchen-ec2.gemspec
ls kitchen-ec2-*.gem
# the version might differ, you get it from the ls output
chef gem install kitchen-ec2-0.8.1.dev.gem

If you add a Gemfile to your cookbook with the entry gem "kitchen-ec2", path: "/Users/tball/github/kitchen-ec2" (or gem "kitchen-ec2", git: "https://github.com/test-kitchen/kitchen-ec2", branch: "master") you can bundle install the cookbook.

So locally I added a Gemfile to my test cookbook, bundle install --binstubs, ./bin/kitchen create. This means you don't have to build the gem yourself and install it.

I'm also working on getting a release for kitchen-ec2 ready, but I want to refactor the code before I do that. It may not happen until after ChefConf 😞

I just released kitchen-ec2 version 0.9.0 - please check it out! I deprecated some configs (affected ones can be seen in the README) but they will continue to work until version 1.0.0.

My current roadmap is to release a 0.10.0 version which adds windows support. Then I will release a 1.0.0 which removes the deprecated configs and pulls in any remaining bug fixes.

👍 Tank you @tyler-ball keep up the great work!!
