Launching Terminal.Gui 1.0

[tig]

Moving this Issue to discussions:

#612

These are the current bugs filed against 1.0:

https://github.com/migueldeicaza/gui.cs/labels/1.0

We need to focus on closing these bugs in order to release 1.0. I do not think we should accept ANY new features or capabilities (including TreeView and TableView) until after we get 1.0 out. Does anyone disagree with this?

[BDisp]

I think there are many users expecting this news features (TreeView and TableView), although needed mouse support.

[tig]

Sorry, but the intent of your message does not translate clearly. I think you are saying:

1. We should wait until TreeView and TableView are done and completely tested before launching 1.0.
2. We should wait until Windows Terminal supports mouse.

Does this capture what you meant to say?

Note that launching 1.0 doesn't mean we can't launch a 1.1 shortly there after with TreeView and TableView.

[BDisp]

Ahh ok. Sorry. If it don't take to long to launch a 1.1 shortly thereafter with TreeView and TableView, so there is no problem to launch the 1.0 before. The Windows Terminal unsupports mouse must not avoid to launch the 1.0 version.

[tig]

Ok team!!!! I think we have our first 1.0 candidate.

v1.0.0-beta.8 is now published to nuget.

Let's get the word out to folks to try it out and let it stew for a few days. Then we can declare 1.0 DONE and move on.

Woot!

v1.0.0-rc.1 is now being pushed to nuget as the first (only?!??!) release candidate.

One bug remains, which I cannot repro:

#931

Once we confirm this bug is fixed, I will accept PR #1227 and push the v1.0.0 tag which will cause the final nuget package to get generated and published.

[tig]

Update: v1.0.0-rc.7 is now on nuget.

main is updated to all the recent changes, including the code coverage (note code coverage badge in README.md.

We are still waiting for #931 to be fixed before launching 1.0.

[BDisp]

We are still waiting for #931 to be fixed before launching 1.0.

I ended up finally fixed it.

[tig]

Update: v1.0.0-rc.9 is now on nuget.

main is updated.

We believe #931 is fixed. Let's get some folks who reported the problem previously to verify.

[tig]

I have pushed v1.0.0-rc.10 to nuget. This includes some more tweaks regarding #931 / #418.

I have discovered a regression in how keys are handled relative to StatusBar. This regression breaks OutConsoleGridView and I believe it needs to be fixed before we can launch 1.0. See #1256.

[tig]

I just pushed v1.0.0-rc.11 to nuget. This includes the fix to #1256.

I will now retest ocgv to ensure it works with the published package....

[tig]

Ok, I have verified ocgv works great with the latest RC.

We will launch v1.0 when this is fixed:

#1255

[tig]

I just pushed v1.0.0-rc.13.

I think we're done!

If anyone has any objections raise them now. I will push 1.0 at 12PM PT today (4/28/2021) if there are no objections.
