Release?

[mattfarina]

Any chance you could take a SemVer based release for those of us who use versions? Something like 1.0.0 or v1.0.0.

Just fork and use http://labix.org/gopkg.in, or use https://github.com/tools/godep

@steakknife If I fork I'm now taking on some form of management myself. Not something I want to do. Release versions are common for software in pretty much every language. Why shouldn't we ask for them here.

For package management I'll likely use Glide. Unlike Godep it can work with versions.

In other words, you want everything for free but you don't want to help.
Good luck, because you're on your own.

@steakknife I don't want everything for free. I'm simply asking for a tagged release which I cannot contribute myself due to permissions and should not due because I don't have insight into the projects main developer. If there was a code change I would likely offer it up as a pull request. I prefer to contribute upstream to projects rather than fork.

Think about it, if I did a fork, added a tag, used the project, and talked about it more people might use my version than this one. That's not helpful to the projects author. It can take any spotlight off the good work done here which I would not want to do or go near.

Sometimes filing an issue for something you can't do is helpful.

It's worth taking in the full context before making a passive aggressive comment.

I would also like to see releases as they act as a signal from the developer to users about what kind of change is present. Godep is too unreliable since it simply relies on git commits which don't have any signal. That's why I switched to Glide so I can rely on known versions.
