Release Cadence?

[cal5barton]

Hey team, will there be a release cadence for this plugin? We are currently trying to bump versions of other backstage plugins and we are having some conflicts because this plugin hasn't been released with some of the latest backstage core packages. Do you have a timeline on when the next release will be coming?

We are currently in the process of releasing 2.1.0: https://github.com/Dynatrace/backstage-plugin/releases/tag/untagged-a8c2aebda1af7b685e10

[cal5barton]

Will there be an expected release cadence going forward?

[johannes-b]

A release cadence is not planned. Releases will be milestone-based, meaning that a new release will be published once all items of the next milestone are finished. If we see more traction on this plugin, we are willing to consider a fixed release cadence.

• @dynatrace/backstage-plugin-dql-common

I would answer this with "on demand" -- i.e., whenever there is something that prompts us to do so, either important maintenance, squishing of critical vulnerabilities, or rollout of a feature. We do not have a set schedule.

If you see a need to have a version rolled out with adapted dependencies, e.g. due to compatibility issues, let us know and we'll focus on it as soon as we're able :)

Can we please cut a new release for this? Waiting for the changes I made in December of last year.

[MrManny]

Apologies for the delay. Releases are more difficult during the holiday season due to vacations and reduced support availability. The respective development team is back in action since today, and we've prioritized getting it out of the door.

2.1.4 should appear on npm momentarily, if it hasn't already. It reflects the current state of the main branch, including your contribution from last month.
