Yesterday I published release 2.5.0, that was solving the last invalidating bug. So here is the question: where do I go now?
I have been cleaning-up things for almost a year, adding only a few new features. I gave me a good knowledge of how LWT works, and why it is wrong the way it is. With that in mind, I'm confident enough to say that LWT will go nowhere if a deep rewriting is not conducted. However, I try to adhere to semantic versioning as it makes maintaining easier, which means I have to publish a new minor version each time I had a single function, increasing the versions number like crazy.
Hence, I should stop developing LWT to free myself of the backward compatibility constraints. I may soon release a new project based on LWT, in beta version, so that I can edit it at will. With this new project, new features will become much easier to add. In the same time, I will be advertising the project and looking for contributors, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Finally, the community version of LWT should only receive patches (bug fixes), so 2.5.x-fork is possibly its last version.
Meanwhile, I hope everyone will enjoy 2.5, and I'm always taking as much suggestions as you have. So you, and happy language learning!
