Ratchet: Version 1.0

[rukavina]

Hello,
Are there plans for version 1.0, and if yes what's expected to change comparing current 0.4.

Thanks!

We've been considering this lately:

• Replace connection magic getters/setters with explicit functions. See containers branch
• PHP 7.?
• Compression

Ratchet currently functions very well and has for a very very long time. "1.0" is just a number.

Thanks for the quick answer!
I agree that it's very stable for a long time. IMHO 0.3.x could have been 1.x, 0.4.x 2.x.
But from the semantic versioning point of view, it's not just a number. Unlike 0.x, 1.x should guarantee stable API and compatibility. And I think composer rules behave differently for stable releases.
All in all, I think the project is ready for 1.x and that would provide more confidence from other projects depending on it.

You're right, we could (probably should) have tagged 0.3 as 1.0.

Matt and I are working to get that list of 3 features complete to push a new version though. Stay tuned.

v0.5 milestone has been updated with our goals.

v0.5 will be a candidate for v1.0
