Question about release cadence

[rahulinux]

I've noticed that the latest release is from six months ago, with version 0.18.0 being the latest as of Jan 2025. I was wondering if there is any plan for a new release soon.

Any information you can provide on the release schedule would be very helpful.

Release happen when there are features that need releasing, and when contributors have time to work on it.

do you usually push out minor releases for bug fixes or security updates (CVEs), or do those wait for bigger releases?

Also, I saw there was a feature merged about six months ago but no new release for it yet, just wondering if there’s any plan to cut a release soon.

Thanks for your response!

We'd like to see a release soon that includes the new changes from master since v0.18.0, such as:

• feat : Add Support for Non-Default Google Cloud Universes via a flag #429 #430

Would now be a suitable time for a new release?

@kgeckhart @SuperQ any chance to cut a new release, there has been new futures and dependency updates since then, as raised by other participants in this discussion. Thank you.

I saw @SuperQ was updating dependencies which I tried to finish up. I can see about staging a release today or Monday.
