Zxing.net.mobile: Why there is no new release since Last 5 months

[tomnorg]

Since last 5 months there is no update from ZXing.Net.Mobile ? Why there is no update?

[knocte]

I second this, especially because there have been fixes in master in this last 6 months that haven't been released to nuget. It would be great to update ZXing.Net submodule too, it would help me debug an issue. @Redth ping

@Redth Could you please confirm any ETA for next release? Or is it going to stop further update / development for this project.

[GiampaoloGabba]

its a shame because its a good library but there are some interesting pull request abandoned (bugfixes, TextureView and Google Vision API) also the submodule is old.
Lets hope that someone brings the project back to life :)

[Redth]

Been busy, too busy... Going to try and get a release out with some of the changes and PR's that are now in dev branch.

[GiampaoloGabba]

This is awesome :) i was just checking this because i'm about to start a new project that need barcode scanning. Thank you! and btw good job also with Xamarin Essentials, is pure awesomeness :)

@Redth why dev branch? a pre-release to nuget first and then merge back to master when official release?

[Redth]

Yup

[knocte]

Yup

Cool. When are you posting a pre-release? Would be nice to get it as a christmas present :)

PS: Actually, the convention is usually keep latest development in master branch (even if unstable), and use other branches for outlining what is stable (e.g. a stable branch). This is more discoverable because then you don't need to switch to dev to find the latest version of the sources.

Looks like @Redth Replied on this post. A full rewrite is happening but he is trying to push it to Xamarin team which really makes sense. https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/7934 scroll down to his reply. Also feature is now "under consideration" https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/projects/5#card-27656349

[lazmeister]

I would also recommend you vote for the feature if you wish to see Xamarin include this as a native feature https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/projects/5#card-27656349

thanks @lazmeister and @Redth I think if we had this would help allot of programmers could really compete with the native developers most business-driven apps have a requirement of some form of scanning especially .warehouse style applications.

@lazmeister how do i vote

[lazmeister]

Click on the item from my link above and on the right hand side click the Thumbs up to give it more traction. That's all I can think of for this to get more attention.

[Redth]

Sorry for the delay... Been tough to find time for this. I have 3.0.0 prerelease out and the code is completely restructured. Should be easier going forward!
