New Release

[JackAtOmenApps]

Are we ready for a 4.0.0 release with all of the new functionality?

• There have been 30-odd commits since the last release at the end of 2019
• This package now has major new functionality with Decimal and re-write of the measurement base
• All tests and CI checks are passing
• I hope to submit a PR to finalize updating django-measurement soon, but want to make sure there's an up-to-date release of measurement to call in the package requirements

Hi @OmenApps,

Please, feel free to release at your digression. You are most aware of all changes that have been made.
If you feel it's time for a new release, please do so. Maybe you want to issue a django-measurement release first thought, with updated dependencies, that exclude v4. If you update django-measurement, you can put it to grater than v4.

Otherwise, I see people updating one without the other and spamming you with issues ;)

Best,
Joe

Hi there,

we arrived here through #70 and #72 and also just responded to an inquiry from @Aran-Fey at #71.

As far as we can see at [1], releasing measurement==4 would not cause any havoc to the downstream django-measurement dependent and its users.

On our work on Wetterdienst, we are occasionally also submitting patches to upstream projects, like filesystem_spec. In this spirit, may we ask what steps would be needed to complete the 4.x release? Can we offer to lend a hand, when needed?

With kind regards,
Andreas.

I believe the main problem would be the incompatibility with django-measurement. Maybe we release a 4.0 alpha or RC. On pypi first as well, since it's such a big breaking change.

Dear Johannes,

first things first, I wish you a happy new year.

On this matter, the pressure is growing, and I think either GH-72 or GH-76 will be needed, and/or a corresponding backport to 3.x, because the runtime dependency sphinxcontrib.applehelp currently breaks the installation, see GH-70, GH-74, and GH-75.

Do you think you can do anything about it?

With kind regards,
Andreas.

@amotl I wrote a backport yesterday. v3.2.2 should do the trick

Thanks a stack for the quick turnaround! 💯
