hey cyrille,

i would be up for testing on OSX. it has compiled before for me (last year) but we are still missing working AVFoundation plugin, New Sierra still has Quicktime framework but am assuming it will be gone next release.... so I agree, this is probably the best time to push forward with a release.

maybe a meet up / discussion in NYC pdcon could be motivational...

cheers

hello

The last official Gem release is 5 year old today!

5 years is a lot's of time.
I usually think a project is dead after 5 years with no release, but Gem is still alive.
There are lot's of update / bugfixes / new feature / help patch etc
I can see about 1800 commit in Iohannes github branch since 11 11 2011.
there is also some merge request that are waiting to be include in this branch.

maybe it's time to think of a new release?

I know that a release is a lot's of work. And I don't know if anyone is still able to compile Gem for recent OSX, or windows.
But without any release, users will disappear, and development will slowly fade away.


So, is there something that need to be done before creating a new release?
is it just a lack of time / motivation that prevent releasing?
or just that Gem is now only for linux?


What could be done to facilitate a new release?
Or should I just send mails to Iohannes until he get bored and do all the job?

cheers,
Cyrille
