Release 3.0.0.pre.1

[abinoam]

Ruby 2.7 is tagged End of Life (not even security maintenance) since this month.
We (Highline) traditionally try to maintain compatibility with old rubies.
But rubies bellow 2.7.1 lack "io/console" or they have incompatibilities.
(as discussed in PR #259)

So, this EOL of 2.7 signal to us that is time for us to move on.
People relying on old versions of Highline will probably face no problem with it.
But we will be free to start removing old code that is necessary only for
retro compatibility in newer versions.

First we're gonna release a 'pre' gem. So we have more time to testing and packing in more changes before the final release.

thanks @abinoam

@abinoam do you have a timeline or outstanding issues before releasing the 3.0.0 final cut?

[abinoam]

Hi @kbrock thanks for pinging me. I was drowned by some personal things (nothing serious). But those things were taking a lot of my "free" time.

The good news are that I'll probably be more free from this month on. And your message made me put this on priority.

@abinoam do you have a timeline or outstanding issues before releasing the 3.0.0 final cut?

Basically I want to recheck all the code for parts that are there only for retro compatibility with old rubies.
It's not hard as I'm really used to the code base. But, I just have to sit and do it.

[kbrock]

But, I just have to sit and do it.

There sure is not enough time out there, for sure.
Thank you for keeping this library up to date.
And thank you for the (unintended) reminder that I too have gems that need to be released

does this mean that going towards reline has just upped in priority?
