Please do a release

[someone-somenet-org]

It has been almost 2 years since the last release and people will feel like this project died

(Please do at least 1 release every 6 months, even if nothing seriously changed)

[bllfr0g]

Agreed! Is this project still alive or is it abandoned?

It would be nice not to have to backport 4fd777e.

The reasoning you have given, however, is not a good reason for cutting releases, and creates needless churn and work for people packaging this software.

Project is not abandoned, I'm regulary checking that everything still works and keep up to date with changes with the ACME protocol.

I'm in a weird position where I started rewriting dehydrated a few times in different styles, but abandoned those rewrites because they just didn't seem good enough, but unfortunately that took away time to actually make changes to the original codebase... The reason for the rewrites is that a) I want to implement some features that would be really messy to implement in the current code (mostly automation and logging stuff) and b) I want something more modular, so changes could be easier tracked and parts of the code tested using automated means.

I guess I should just re-prioritize working on the existing code instead... at least that's something that's proven stable.

I know that feeling ... I had sooo many projects which I wanted to fully rewrite ... and ... I abandoned all of the rewrites.

We will have to agree to disagree, its imo much more important to look alive, to attract new users and possibly contributors and package-maintainers.

My experience is incremental change is more likely to succeed. If you plan to rewrite the whole thing from scratch — it’s unlikely to happen. Instead, refactor parts of it at a time. Little by little — and before you know it, the whole thing will be done!

This doesnt work if you want to change the language, tho. :(

Language and dependencies will definitively stay the same. I have no interested in writing an ACME client in a different language, even though that would probably be a lot easier than doing it in bash 🙃

I have to admit I am here looking at issues to see if this project is abandoned. Any small release gives everyone assurances that the project is active. Thanks for all your work! I'm a fan!!
