Glide, a package manager, has a 0.9.0 RC 1 release. Normally we have not had the need for release candidates but the changes this time are enough to necessitate it. Those include:
- An internal refactor that removes the declarative programming (the
cookoo
package). This makes the code easier to follow and contribute to for many. - Updating follows the referenced import tree rather than all possible permutations in the filesystem. This makes Glide a lot faster for many cases. We’ve seen it do update in 30% to 10% of the time is used to. The old behavior can still be opted into.
Because of these big changes, a couple of the numerous changes, we are rolling an RC to get any last feedback before a release.
