docs: Add old release notes
These release notes used to live on the mailing list at: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/mgmtconfig-list/ until Red Hat killed off this excellent service recently. I'm adding them all here for reference. Before 0.0.9 there were no release notes.

|
||||
This is a fairly quiet release, and I'm mostly doing this to have a
|
||||
permanent tag before I start really breaking git master.
|
||||
|
||||
I'd like to apologize for things being kind of quiet. I've had to focus
|
||||
on life and making money to pay my bills, and I've been struggling a
|
||||
bit to complete some of the tougher algorithmic parts that I think are
|
||||
necessary for a solid MVP. Hopefully I will succeed, but to do so, it's
|
||||
going to be easier if I break git master and then sort things out
|
||||
later.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm feeling optimistic about the future, although help with some
|
||||
complex concurrent programming would certainly be appreciated.
|
||||
|
||||
With that, here are a few highlights from the release:
|
||||
|
||||
* We're using go.mod, but I'm not keeping it up-to-date regularly yet.
|
||||
|
||||
* We have an os.system(`cmd`) function!
|
||||
|
||||
* We replaced go-bindata with the embed package.
|
||||
|
||||
* We added a hetzner vm resource.
|
||||
|
||||
* We did a giant lang/ package refactor.
|
||||
|
||||
* Printf supports %v now (any type).
|
||||
|
||||
And much more...
|
||||
|
||||
DOWNLOAD
|
||||
|
||||
Prebuilt binaries are NOT available here for this release:

||||

|
||||
|
||||
NEWS
|
||||
|
||||
* We have our Libera IRC channel bridged to Matrix, so you can join
|
||||
that way too.
|
||||
|
||||
* We're looking for help writing Amazon, Google, DigitalOcean, Hetzner,
|
||||
etc, resources if anyone is interested, reach out to us. Particularly
|
||||
if there is support from those organizations as well.
|
||||
|
||||
* Many other bug fixes, changes, etc...
|
||||
|
||||
* See the git log for more NEWS, and for anything notable I left out!
|
||||
|
||||
BUGS
|
||||
|
||||
* Function values as args don't work yet. This is blocking us from
|
||||
implementing functions like map/reduce/filter, because they'd want to
|
||||
receive a function as input.
|
||||
|
||||
(This is the exact message I wrote last time. I've made a lot of
|
||||
progress since then, but motivation here has been low. Reach out if you
|
||||
can help.)
|
||||
|
||||
TALKS

||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||
please let me know.
|
||||
|
||||
