Not releases, but just a single release would suffice.
The first release implies the author/maintainer deemed it release-worthy, which is meaningful when viewed in the context of the reputation of the author/maintainer. This message <https://groups.google.com/g/beancount/c/c_NwZGbgOXo/m/qYX-qEtsBAAJ> explicitly says it’s not ready for a release, and that being a strong warning. Fair enough if that’s the state of it, but that may also reasonably interpreted to mean one shouldn’t be coding and releasing other software against it. Plus, a release would result in a PyPI package presumably, which is also required for other packages to depend on it. Regular releases/commits help signify activity, and are not an ask, at least from me here. Does that help clarify?

I have several written several importers. I've never looked at moving them to beangulp. Because when I look at beangulp's github repository there are no releases, no commits in 8 months, and the "Status" documentation says "As of February 2021, the project has just been forked out of Beancount. Expect some changes to be made here." I assume, perhaps incorrectly(?), that if beangulp isn't in a state to be released yet then it isn't in a state for me to migrate my importers to it. I’ve done the same thing for exactly the same reasons, and thus, beancount_reds_importers <https://github.com/redstreet/beancount_reds_importers> is written against bean-{identify, extract, file} in Beancount v2 instead of beangulp. Good catch, thank you, I should’ve been more explicit and instead recommended that people write importers against released code, which in this case is Beancount v2’s importers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
