What does the release process look like?

If you have a question about Graphback that is not a bug report or feature
request, feel free to post it here.

You can also reach the Graphback team on Discord.

What does the release process look like for this project? I see that the last release as of today is v1.1.2 released on Feb 24, 2021.

If I were to commit support for case sensitivity (see #1967) for Knex, it would seem like it would be very slow moving to actually release into production.

It seems that there's a few options.

1. Push a PR to graphback
2. Fork and maintain our own graphback.
3. Patch locally, and do some messy code to extend our data provider & service creator / copy & pasting code to support just to add ilike to the knex query mapper.

Option 1 is ideal, but it seems that it may never make its way into production.
Option 2 seems best due to Option 1's downside.
Option 3 is soooo far from desirable

Apologies for the lack of release. Our team moved out of the project temporarily and making fewer changes.
However, we going to reply and keep things alive for a while. If you would like to fork it or even become a maintainer of the project let us know
For the moment we can provide the latest release although there is no feature development happening on the project for the next 3-4 months timeframe.

TL;DR - you can become maintainer, get permission to release and work with Option 1 indefinitely or fork it and replicate entire infrastructure. Options 1 or 2 :)

@wtrocki Thank you for the transparency! I would be interested in becoming a maintainer in the near future. We're soon implementing more searching/filtering features and finding that the #1967 issue needs some attention :)

Thank you for chooising this option. Despite us not working on project, you would still have more or less team that will be responsive/help and answer questions etc.

Release process involves creating tag with the new version in the releases. CI/CD does the rest (unless templates were changed) then we need to push main https://github.com/aerogear/graphback/tree/templates-1.0.0 this branch to release templates.

Hope that answers question. Closing for now
