Time for a new release?

[1ace]

It's been a while since 3.0.0 and a lot has been done. Is it time for 3.1.0/4.0.0?

In my case, I need #866, and I'm finding myself installing git+https://github.com/jazzband/django-simple-history#master to be able to use it.

I am also eagerly awaiting a new release, specifically for #866! I hope the great work done by @jeking3 can be reviewed and incorporated soon.

Pinging @barm who did the last release, and @rossmechanic who did pretty much all the releases before that 🙂

[jeking3]

Thanks for the kind words. I would really like to see #941 get in as well, which builds on top of #866. I don't mind attempting to drive a release but I have been waiting for an approval on that one for two months.

Getting #941 and #932 merged in and released would be really great for me! They both have features that I'm really needing.

Can we release them separately?
#941 is already in.

[lazarust]

That would be fine with me! I just don't want #932 to be forgotten.

Hey all, sorry for the radio silence. I should be able to help cut a release this week.

[lazarust]

@barm Any update on when you think you'd be able to make that release?

[jeking3]

Review and approve, if you could: update CHANGES to prepare for 3.1.0

https://github.com/jazzband/django-simple-history/releases/tag/3.1.0

As far as I know, apart from dropping Django 2.2, 3.1, Python 3.6 - this is compatible with 3.0.0. There was a change around the as_of call that now returns a filtered QuerySet instead of a list of results. The documentation for as_of explicitly stated that the return value was an Iterable. This has not changed. Both list[] and QuerySet are iterable. Therefore I tagged this as a pre-release for 3.1.0 and we'll see what happens. The alternative is to make it a 4.0.0 release.

I'm unable to install that release, I'm getting an error with LookupError: setuptools-scm was unable to detect version
full error: https://pastebin.com/sdws9zJp

Maybe that would be a possible solution: pypa/setuptools-scm#536
Anybody else having the same issue?

On a side note, we might want to update https://github.com/jazzband/django-simple-history/blob/master/pyproject.toml#L7 as it's referring to Python 3.6 which would be now unsupported.

When will there be a release to PyPI?

[jeking3]

I will re-tag and re-spin the v3.1.0 pre-release after that PR passes and gets merged. I think we need to remove the v3.1.0 pre-release indicator for them to consider publishing it to pypi, but I'm not sure...
