Hi all, Those of you following the Fabric ticket tracker know that I've been working on a massive upgrade to Fabric's I/O capabilities and our ability to test the library[1]. This work has finally wound down and it's pretty much ready to enter the master branch and get some wider testing!
Before I do so, I want to backport all the backwards compatible fixes and feature additions from master into the 0.9 series, since doing the big #7 merge beforehand could make backporting more difficult. What does this mean for you? * Fabric 0.9.2 will come out very soon, with some/most/(all?) of the backports from master -- plus other 0.9-specific changes; * The new I/O overhaul will be merged into master soon afterwards, and will thus impact any of you tracking master for day-to-day work; * Assuming this wider testing doesn't find any showstoppers, we'll start planning a 1.0.0 release centered around the interactivity feature and whatever else is left in master due to being backwards incompatible. (In order to get things moving quicker, the backported-from-master changes may be split up between 0.9.2 and 0.9.3. In this case, 0.9.3 should follow relatively quickly after 0.9.2 -- as in, a few weeks to a month, instead of a few months.) I'll post another followup once this process is largely complete, and will also be updating the Redmine roadmap[2] so it reflects these changes. Thanks, Jeff [1] http://code.fabfile.org/issues/show/7 and all of its related tickets -- very big ticket, the tl;dr is "fully interactive remote processes".
