Release tag

[katyukha]

Hi,

I have tried to use master version of this lib in my project to dynamically load Python and it works well.

So, the question: is it stable enough to make a release tag for this version?

Thanks a lot for this amaizing library that make dynamic loading of C libraries so easy)

I’m really glad to hear that you’ve gotten some use out of this library! I remember being afraid of other people using 0.1.0 because it was so messy, but 0.1.1 was meant to fix that.
If my memory is correct I felt like 0.1.1 was done, but I hadn’t conducted enough testing to be 100% sure.
If you’d like, I can tag a pre-release of 0.1.1 for you so that you don’t have to worry about me breaking ~master with future commits.

Thanks for explanation.

I think it will be enough for me to use master branch for some time: In next 1-2 weeks i plan to migrate my Zipper library to use bind-bc for static and dynamic bindings, it has better test coverage thus thus i will be able to test more functionality of this lib. When i will finish that, i will add comment about results.

Currently, i use bindbc here. In Odood, i use only dynamic bindings, but in Zipper, i will try to use both static and dynamic bindings with different dub configuration.

Additionally, it would be nice to have more documentation on how to use this library.

Thanks a lot.

I'm bad at writing documentation, but I'll try.

Thanks a lot.

Not a problem!

Hi,

I have tested it on Zipper and it seems that it works fine on linux for static and dynamic builds.
I did not have tested it on windows and mac.

That’s great to hear!
Part of the testing that I still need to do is making sure that 0.1.1 is still fully backwards compatible with all the BindBC libraries that use 0.1.0 so that I know for sure that I don’t need to increment the minor version number of every dependant BindBC library. (You have probably seen some of the crazy trickery I did to make this possible, and I should be able to use a similar technique again in case I have to remodel the API at all)
