How stable is Thumbor 7.0a5?

[jannejava]

First of all, I apprecate all the effort put into this software! Have been using it for 6 months now.

However, on a brand new Ubuntu 20.04 VPS I am having a trouble of installing Thumbor, since Python2 is no more. Can I use Thumbor 7.0a5, since it works in Python 3, despite it's an alpha?

Regards,

Jam

Hey! Glad you appreciate it. Would be really cool if you could help us test the alpha :) We really want to move forward with it and all the help we can get is appreciated.

[jannejava]

Of course, I will certainly do that!

Hey we're in the process of releasing a beta version that will have a compatibility layer for loaders, storages and result storages, making it simpler to migrate to thumbor 7.0.0. If you want to try it, check this PR: #1342

The alpha release is now 1 1/2 years old and I started wondering when the beta can be expected.

[heynemann]

Hey @fraenki can you help test the alpha?

[fraenki]

@heynemann We may deploy a pre-release in our test environment, but we would really need the compatibility layer to make this happen. So the questions is probably: could you release another alpha or beta version with the compatibility layer?

Hey @fraenki just created a new Thumbor AWS Extensions project to help users moving to Thumbor 7.0.0+. Would you give it a try? It would be very helpful!
