Macpass: Release a new version

[kevinpapst]

Hi Michael,

let me start with saying: thank you for your Software and sharing your free time with the open source world!

My story/question is related to your release strategy:
I am trying to manage my software as much as possible with homebrew and cask, but the MacPass version there is your lastest tagged release 0.6.2-alpha.
I looked into it to update the relevant cask, but it seems that it won't work unless you release a new tagged version.
And seeing that the 0.6.2 release was more than 18 months ago (I finally come to my question here): do we have a chance that you "officially" release a new version?

Thanks, Kevin

I am about to bundle 0.7 and have just a few things on my list I want to finish. KDBX4 support was a big change and there are some minor parts that aren't properly supported in MacPass. Furthermore I did add synchronisation as a feature but there too are some minor things that need cleanup and more thorough tests. That beding said, I think 0.7 will come out this year and I even think it's going to be far before Christmas.

About tagging - the continuous tag is moving along with development so it always reflects a "nightly" build. I suspect cask does not work well with a never-chaning version that is actually an always changing version, right?

Thanks for your quick reply.
Sounds like good news. There will always be something on the list that needs some fixes before the next release ;-) I am happy that I found MacPass and totally fine using 0.6 so far.
No, cask doesn't work properly with rolling releases, but ping me here when you release the new verson and I am happy to upgrade the cask to the next version.

Yeah, I was desperately waiting for Drag & Drop through the homebrew install - great to see the release - Thanks!!!!!! 👍
