Clarify that 1.6.0-alpha36 is the current version
fredZen opened this issue · comments
Hi,
I spent a little while figuring out that I should probably be using oz 1.6.0-alpha36. What confused me was the fact that there are 2.0.0-alpha (up to 5) versions on clojars, compounded by the fact that all versions on clojars say that they were pushed from this years old git tree
I don’t know if the situation on clojars is easy to fix, but if it isn’t, perhaps a little note in the README could help? I’m happy to make a pull request for that if you’d like.
Hi @fredZen. Thanks for asking about this.
Actually, 2.0.0-alpha5 is what I'd recommend using, unless something specific is broken for you, as it has quite a few new features and improvements (parallel evaluation of and markdown comment support for "namespace as a notebook" files, improved styles, better LaTeX support, etc). It is still alpha though (much more so than the 1.6.0-alpha* releases, which were actually pretty stable, but which I left in alpha, anticipating changes which might occur in implementing the afore described features; though I've taken quite a bit of care to break as little as possible). So if you find any problems with it, please raise an issue or reach out to me on the #oz channel on the Clojurians slack.
Oh; And yes, the git pointers are not up to date, since switching to deps.edn tooling. Unless there's a better way I'm not aware of, we'll have to write a little (babashka?) script that updates the pom.xml, and call it from the release task in the Makefile. I would absolutely appreciate help with that if you have some bandwidth. There's currently a bin/munge-provided-deps.clj bb script in the project, which is no longer needed, but which might serve as a nice starting point for solving the problem.
Thanks again!
