It'll forever stay in the future and might take away from finishing more immediate developments.\r\nLots of projects have failed in the past to hang in for the long haul, after starting on or announcing a refactored \"version 2\" codebase, where frustration led to complete abandonment in the end.\r\n\r\nThere have been many bigger changes since 0.24 now than there were after 0.22, at least that is my feeling. I've been waiting for a new release since the last GSoC and finalization of SEP-19. My spiders still run on 0.24 stable mostly, and without a new stable version I couldn't really invest time to get to know all the great changes in 0.25/master yet.\r\n\r\nIf at all possible with current people's workloads, I would root for a small feature freeze now and finalizing a new stable release with all that's done by now, to have a good and common starting point for GSoC 2015, before that whirlwind starts hogging all ressources (I assume), if it hits scrapy ;)"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/scrapy/scrapy/issues/comments/85205369","html_url":"https://github.com/scrapy/scrapy/issues/1096#issuecomment-85205369","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/scrapy/scrapy/issues/1096","id":85205369,"user":{"login":"kmike","id":107893,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/107893?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/kmike","html_url":"https://github.com/kmike","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kmike/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kmike/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kmike/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kmike/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kmike/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kmike/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kmike/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kmike/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kmike/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-03-23T21:27:47Z","updated_at":"2015-03-23T21:27:47Z","body":"Thanks @nyov - your feedback is welcome!"}}
