Yarn: Request for 1.5.2 release

[dannycochran]

Per comment here:

https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/pull/5442#issuecomment-373817156

1.5.1 was released a month ago, and there are have been a lot of helpful commits since 1.5.1, including the one that fixes linkDuplicates for symlinks.

While nightly builds are great, I can't really ask a team of engineers to go through that process. Is it possible to ship a version, 1.5.2, that includes some, if not all, of the commits to master since 1.5.1?

I think next would be minor...but I am also waiting for sometime..there are few fixes for next release which can make yarn more easier to use.

Wouldn't 1.5.2 be a minor release? There are a number of fixes on master that make yarn easier to use right now, like https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/pull/5442

cc @yarnpkg/core - What do you think of releasing a new minor version soon?

[thecodejack]

@dannycochran minor would be 1.6.0

@Daniel15 Please do needful to release a version. As @dannycochran said, too many fixes are merged which can help many to have better yarn usage.

Heya! Sorry about the delays here. We want to release a new version quite soon.

There are also conversations happening around whether we should automate the releases to happen at a fixed frequency. There were some concerns about a final "human sanity check" and I know we need some more structure to be able to determine the correct version number from commit logs. If there's interest we can open a new ticket and discuss it there (or may create an RFC).

I just released the 1.6.0 🙂 The changelog is missing, I'll get to that tomorrow.

Note that we haven't bumped the latest tag yet, so if you install Yarn through npm you'll need to use npm install [email protected] to get the right one.

Other installation methods:
Installation script: Use --rc flag
Tarball: https://yarnpkg.com/latest-rc.tar.gz
Windows: https://yarnpkg.com/latest-rc.msi

I really need to revive my PR to make RC installation instructions more obvious on the Yarn site...

seems like this can be closed, now that 1.6.0 is released?

…and still waiting for changelog ._.

[BYK]

Closing since v.1.6.0 is out. We'll provide a changelog soon.
