Pdf.js: Clarification on 2.1 going non-beta?

[burtonator]

I just need a clarification for when 2.1 is going non-beta. I also noticed that the demo version is running 2.2.x. I assume 2.2.x is alpha?

There's generally very little difference, as far as stability is concerned, between the stable/pre-release versions (since no code lands without e.g. all tests passing).
Firefox Nightly, for example, is always using what's essentially the latest master version of the PDF.js library. Hence the decision to use "stable" or "pre-release" versions is really up each implementer (and note that unless something is really broken, patches are generally not back-ported).

I do agree that we should make a new release again. @brendandahl If we follow the release process, does the existing pre-release automatically become stable (on GitHub and NPM) or do we need to do that ourselves somehow?

I do agree that we should make a new release again.

In that case, how about making sure that #10794 is landed first?

If everything is working correctly it should.

I'd suggest trying to get PRs #10850 and #10851 (maybe #10879 as well) landed as soon as possible, and then just create a new release immediately afterwards (before considering landing any larger items).

[timvandermeij]

Yes, I agree. Those three are mostly done, other PRs can wait. @brendandahl Could you fix up your two PRs?

I'm waiting for that too, but it seems it got stuck. Would be great to get a new release soon

[timvandermeij]

I'm planning to make a new release next Wednesday.
