Next release of Crusader?

[richb-hanover]

I seem to be running out of things to complain about :-) Is it time to start thinking of another release?

Here are my outstanding questions. Do you want to address any of them?

• Better error message when peer can speak to server Hang when latency peer can't speak to server #73

• Changing order of the plots colors both in GUI and in the PNG Request for minor tweaks for 0.2 #64 (comment) (You have not responded to this in the past. Perhaps you are not inclined to make this change...?)

• I can live with "Load from results" - too many buttons #74 and Consider removing "More parameters" button #75 in the current state.

• I noticed an odd commit hash in the GUI I built just now. The client log shows [2024-09-15 10:03:46] Client version 0.2.1-dev (commit 648f15b) running. But this obviously is the latest fd4c064 because the stats are there, and the button was "Latency only". This isn't anything to hold up a new release, just a curiosity...

Thanks!

@Zoxc PS I want to emphasize that I think Crusader is getting extremely good... Thanks again

That can probably be done after a 0.3 version.

• I noticed an odd commit hash in the GUI I built just now.

The build script that fetches the Git commit runs when crusader-lib changes which didn't happen here.

• Changing order of the plots colors both in GUI and in the PNG

I'd need to change the egui_plot crate for that.

These are all great answers. Do you think we're looking at a 0.3 release soon? (That would delight me, and maybe also Dave Täht, who's giving a talk on Wednesday...)

As I see it, we'd need to do the following:

• No code changes (unless you know of any burning issues)
• Bump the version to 0.3 (or 1.0?)
• Build the releases, push to the Releases page
• Update screen shots in the README showing the new version number
• Publish an UNDERSTANDING.md page, with the text similar to First cut at documentation for "numerical summary window"  #78 (I'd welcome your comments)
• Final editorial pass over all the documentation

I could do the last three items within 24 hours of getting the new release (so I can take screen shots) Thanks

Well you got yourself a release and some plot legend reordering.

Well you got yourself a release and some plot legend reordering.

Thanks! The 0.3 release is a thing of beauty! I'd like to get comments on the documentation PR. Thanks again

PS - Crusader was mentioned a couple times at today's Linux Plumbers conference session: https://lpc.events/event/18/contributions/1967/attachments/1491/3153/State%20of%20the%20Bloat.pdf

Congratulations!
