I'm glad to announce the 1.1.2 maintenance release of BubbleWrap, here is the changelog:
https://github.com/rubymotion/BubbleWrap/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md
I would also like to welcome Dylan Markow, the 8th developer to join the development team.
I also have a personal announcement to make. This will probably the last release I'm actively involved with, at least for a little while.
I started the BubbleWrap project to share some of the RubyMotion code I copied from project to project.
It quickly became used by many which lead to great contributions, making this library RubyMotions's most popular community driven lib.
That said, I came to the conclusion that I don't have the required bandwidth to deal with all the RubyMotion bugs and lack of debugging tools and keep pushing BW further.
Just making sure our test suite runs properly has been challenging to say the least.
The support we received from Hipbyte was quasi non-existent, I didn't receive any replies nor follow up for any of my bug reports or support tickets.
I feel that RubyMotion needs to mature before I can invest more of my free time.
I still like RubyMotion but I'll only be using it for toy projects and quick prototypes. Because of this decision, it's hard for me to justify the time required to lead and support a project such as BubbleWrap.
It doesn't mean that the project is dead, we have 7 other active committers and many other contributors.
Feel free to join them to make BubbleWrap even better.
Sincerely,
- Matt
