Release 3.0

[dconnolly]

Upgrading to rand 0.8 / rand_core 0.6 (#40) makes our public api incompatible with 2.0.

How do you feel about pushing out a minor release with the changes before the rand upgrade?

The Zeroize (#34) and JNI (#37) changes?

Happy to do that if it would be helpful. Releases don't take a lot of effort - we just need to make time for them.

[kim]

Yeah would be appreciated. I realised we're still on the git dependency (for #34), and I'm not sure if the rand upgrade would have effects on other dependencies. Thanks!

Hey @teor2345 👋 I wanted to ping about the above minor release. We're still pinning on #34 and it'd be nice to pin to a version. Anything I could do to help? 😊

I'll check with the team in our meeting next Tuesday, we should have an answer for you by then.

@FintanH I'm scheduling a release within the next week or so. 📦

[FintanH]

Amazing, thanks @dconnolly! 🙇

[FintanH]

@dconnolly: did you ever get around to that release? 👀 Just remembered this after figuring out why some types were different across builds 😅

[gilescope]

Same question, I know life gets busy sometimes! Is main in a good state for a release?

I find this rather concerning, particularly because only one side of the story is visible from the outside. Can we get some semi-official statement from ZF ***@***.***), respectively the “other maintainer” of dalek crypto ***@***.***) on what we are supposed to think of this?
