Timescale for v2 API

[DStape]

Hi @pprindeville,

Long time no speak :)

In the "Releases" section it states that, "Master will be branching soon as v1.5.x ... [and then it] will then be released as v2.0.0 which will break ABI/API compatibility".

Do you have any ideas about when that will happen? Is there further work that must be done first? If so, I can help out with that.

Thanks,
David

I think we've gotten most of the major issues with the current release put to bed, with the one exception of supporting both static and dynamic builds... Issue #98 I think.

I have a bunch of improvements ready to port to 2.0, but I guess we need to branch the project. Since the number of fixes has slowed to a trickle lately, I think cherry-picking fixes into both branches shouldn't be a concern.

We could branch master as 1.x or 1.5.x and release 2.0 out of master.

Okay, I just did a merge of master into v1.5.x branch so it should have all the latest fixes.
