Lute v3 launch thoughts

Lute v3 launched today. Wow, that was a lot of work, so nice to have it done.

Everything seems to be in order. Some final bugs and tweaks, several test runs. Release process updated. New pip and docker stuff pushed. Manual updated. User communication done.

I wonder if this thing will take off as much as I think it should. Guess it’s time to hurry up and wait.

In the meantime, I deserve a break.

Lute v3 alpha release up on test.pypi.org

Lute v3 is getting pretty close to ready:

  • All tests ported: check
  • All features implemented: check (I think)
  • All obvious codo TODOs addressed: check
  • Packaged and up on testpypi: check
  • Dogfooded and user feedback implemented: not yet
  • Documentation updates (porting, wiki updates): not yet
  • etc …

So I guess it’s time to start dogfooding and to get some user notes.
