Build actual releases

[apfelbox]

Hi,

since there already are quite a lot of external libraries or tools which build on or include prism, it would be nice, if there were actual releases with release version numbers (preferably semver of course ;-) ).

Tools which build on prism:

• bower or other package managers (declare dependency by version number)
• Tools like Prism Detached (which includes prism in wordpress)

etc...

I also feel like the prism source and website should be separated. Throw in some Grunt and build packaging as well.

Well, at least they’re in separate folders now :P

I use Prism in Bespoke.js Generator and moving the themes into a separate folder broke my boilerplate (see this pull request I received to fix it). I'd love to lock in a version of Prism with the generator to avoid these sorts of issues.

I agree that the themes should have been moved, but that should also constitute a version bump IMO.

Gruntfile would be nice.

Terrific library. Definitely need tagged releases to be consumable in a predictable way.
Pulling from gh-pages is not sufficient. As mentioned in other issues, bower doesn't like it.

Although the following works, it's not versioned or convenient.

$ bower install git@github.com:LeaVerou/prism.git\#gh-pages

@LeaVerou, terrific job on the library, however.

Is there still no plans for tagged releases?

Currently in work. Please keep patient just a little longer.

@apfelbox Is this the repo where you send PRs from?

[apfelbox]

@franz-josef-kaiser yep. Although I have to confess that I mainly work on my local machine and just push to my fork as soon as its ready for the PR.

I will try to change that, that one can see the progress of the work.

[franz-josef-kaiser]

If you'd do micro commits (one minor changed block, one commit) it would be easier to drop or replace certain things later on. It as well would make it possible for someone to jump in. Anyway 👍 for doing that!

We now have a v1.0 🎈

[franz-josef-kaiser]

@apfelbox why the v? Semver does not have the v.

(Still a big win as most package manager will recognize that as valid)

[apfelbox]

@franz-josef-kaiser I didn't create the tag, I am just the announcer. ;)

I currently prefer it without the "v", but as practically all package manager handle both cases quite well, it is up to the personal taste of the maintainer.
