Nteract: Release a new version

[davidanthoff]

Would be great if we could get a release :) Last one is from September, and there is a lot of good stuff that I'd like to see shipping. Updated vega and vega-lite versions first and foremost.

In general, is there maybe a chance to move to a more regular release cycle? Just so that stuff that makes it onto master doesn't linger there for months before it actually gets shipped to users? I _really_ love the VS Code release process of just shipping a release every month, no matter what.

Great question, @davidanthoff!

We actually did introduce a new monthly release cadence as documented here.

There was an attempt to release last month (December 30th), but there were issues with the electron-build that needed to be resolved so it didn't end up happening.

As a result, the next release will happen on January 27th.

We should probably do a better job of communicating upcoming and current releases on the Twitter. I started this by tweeting about this week's dev release and will do similar for upcoming releases.

Thanks for your patience while we work out issues! This next release is sure to delight!

Fantastic, that sounds great :)

Thanks for being proactive and opening up an issue!

I think I'll go ahead and send out a tweet to the @nteractio account to let folks know when the next release will be.
