Reactive: Question: roughly approximate timeline of the 4.0 release
The alpha preview has now been out for a while. Will there be more preview versions, or should we wait for a release for a while? Is 4.0 mostly a packaging change? If so, it seems pretty ripe for a release!
At some point, the RX.NET project separated from the main .NET core, and the Internet says there were both technical and non-technical reasons, but it reached a wide audience on its own, and I hope so much guys that the development is going on. I think this is one of the most carefully designed libraries, covered by 100% unit tests, amazingly reliable, and leading to immensely stable async code (I find the Tasks more dangerous to use due to their unexpected context affinity). In any case, the point of this digression is to express how much I expect this project to continue developing!
I see there is a recent big development done by @bartdesmet on IxAsyncCSharp8 branch, but I think it is mostly IX, not RX-related. Is this for v.next? Or are you waiting for C#8 to take shape before releasing V4?
/cc @bartdesmet, @onovotny.

Any update on this? I'm looking to upgrade from 2.2.5 and am wondering if I should wait until 4.0 is released or just upgrade to 3.1. Thanks!

What's the status here? I'm starting a big project, wondering if this library is still alive, and what version to aim for?

Same question here. I'm waiting for an update. 3.1.0 has some dependencies that introduce conflicts during build in my projects.

Any clear roadmap? Worth waiting for?

A ping here from me too, I have a .net lib that is targetting .net standard so I need to use 4.0 but am still left with a dependency on the preview version, would love to know when its going to be going to 4.0.

I can see that there is a lot of talk about the future of this repo and direction of rx in the .net space over in #466 but will these ongoing discussions basically delay 4.0 release? as currently the only way to consume this in .net standard territory is to use this version which is just a preview.
I appreciate that there is a lot of ideas coming in, but for those of us who just want to consume the existing rx paradigm from .net standard apps could we just get this over the line then look at changes from here on?
