11/01/2018, 2:03 PMHi all, is there any chance we get the distribution of ktor on maven central or jcenter? I have been trying to bootstrap a ktor community in my company by we have strict rules to not mirror any other repo besides central and jcenter.

11/01/2018, 2:06 PMI read that too, I don't get why not before, I mean the framework is really stable as it is
Vinicius Carvalho
11/01/2018, 2:06 PMI feel we are getting really close now (1.0.0 beta3)
j
Jonathan
11/01/2018, 2:06 PMbecause it is not necessary. By defenition it is not yet "generally available"

11/01/2018, 2:07 PMwhen is the final 1.0 expected to be available?

Jonathan
11/01/2018, 2:07 PMyes we're getting very close now. You won't have to wait too long (I hope) before being able to fetch the artifact from jcenter/mavenCentral

11/01/2018, 2:07 PMI'm still using 0.9.5, is 1.0.0 going to be based on kotlin 1.3?

Jonathan
11/01/2018, 2:08 PMYes

Vinicius Carvalho
11/01/2018, 2:08 PMoh boy ...

Jonathan
11/01/2018, 2:08 PM(and it is already in 1.0.0-beta)

11/01/2018, 2:08 PM1.3 is not approved on my company, I'll need to chase another rathole

Jonathan
11/01/2018, 2:09 PMarf... good luck with that

Vinicius Carvalho
11/01/2018, 2:09 PMit's painful. I'm raising awareness of kotlin, and mostly ktor
Vinicius Carvalho
11/01/2018, 2:09 PMwe have some devel using spring boot and kotlin (spring boot is king here)
Vinicius Carvalho
11/01/2018, 2:09 PMbut I wanted to show a pure kotlin way of doing things
Vinicius Carvalho
11/01/2018, 2:10 PMwe have 25k developers, if I manage to get 1% to embrace kotlin, I'll call it a successful story 🙂

Jonathan
11/01/2018, 2:10 PMTry to advocate that migrating from Kotlin 1.2 to 1.3 is quite smooth and does still target the same clients (it is not like migrating java or android)

11/01/2018, 2:11 PMDevs always embrace it, it's cyber security that is a pain in the * when it comes to version upgrades
Vinicius Carvalho
11/01/2018, 2:12 PMusually 3-6 months to approve a new major version

Spike Baylor
11/01/2018, 2:12 PMshouldn't cyber security demand version upgrades?
v
Vinicius Carvalho
11/01/2018, 2:12 PMonly when there are know CVEs
j
Jonathan
11/01/2018, 2:12 PMYes I aggree with @Spike Baylor usually it is the opposite

Strictly speaking Kotlin 1.3 is not a major version upgrade 🙂 Major would be 2.0
