GDL 1.0.0

[alaingdl]

Happy new year !

Could we consider a 1.0.0 soon ? The sooner the better !

I know we all would like to add few codes and improvements, but the 1.0.0rc3 is robust,
and having a 1.0.0 would be a good point to promote GDL outside the core team.

Hi,
That would be good, especially since we need to publish more frequently to get GDL updated in the distros.

[GillesDuvert]

... And then, the 1.1 shall come soon after, as I'm polishing the new widget support...

@maynardGK @pjb7687 Any objections to make a 1.0 release?

[pjb7687]

I have only one thing: #869
This includes GRIB, the last missing package on Windows. No test failures on 64bit. Other than no objections.

[pjb7687]

Merged, no objections now.

[pjb7687]

May I ask you going to include windows binaries with the release? If so, I can add another GA script which automatically makes a release with the latest build artifacts.

[GillesDuvert]

@slayoo ? What exactly is called a "release"?
I see just this

[slayoo]

IIUC, what Jeongbin is suggesting (and I'm all for it, but not being a windows user it's hard for me to test/discuss), is that Github offers the option to attach binary files to a release, see e.g.:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5207269/how-to-release-a-build-artifact-asset-on-github-with-a-script
"You can also attach binary assets (such as compiled executables, minified scripts, documentation) to a release. "

Thanks for explaining @slayoo! Just now I released GDL Workbench (or gdlde) v1.0.0 after days of testing.
This looks like this: https://github.com/gnudatalanguage/gdlde/releases/tag/v1.0.0

Hi. I have installed GDL, but i cannot find a debugger. Please,help!

[slayoo]

Please elaborate. GDL does support STOP, .SKIP, .STEP & .CONTINUE as IDL does (https://www.l3harrisgeospatial.com/docs/_CONTINUE.html), are you referring to any other particular IDL debugging feature? Thanks

[GillesDuvert]

hi @Gostguest , I'm not a user of an IDL/GDL workbench, do you mean you expected a third entry, "debug"?
Note that debugging in GDL is not, by far, as easy as in IDL. This because, probably, GDL was developed to run existing (idl-debugged) code in the first place. A concept that has evolved rapidly in the recent years, so indeed the debugging facilities of GDL should be updated.
