2017 is the first time we don’t get new release of Elm. Could it be possible that we don’t get new release for 2 years or more?

maybe a stable-release-maintainer is what’s called for…

Given 0.19 and not 1.19, I wouldn’t count on it.

I can readily see how this might apply to some of the compiler issues with recursive types, but what about the thing new Elm developers raise with me: the inability to read messages in full in the debugger. That’s not much more than CSS i think?

[image] pdamoc: Since there is only one developer, 0.18 remained unmaintained. Not disputing anything you said which is all valid, but isn’t that the point of setting the version number to 0.18? I’d consider that version number to be an alpha release, beta as it gets closer to 1.0, and only f…

[image] simonh1000: link please … I lost the link. It was in #compile-time but it is lost due to message limit. The slackarchive does not have anything archived for that channel past January 15. This pull request has more information.
