Release new version to RubyGems about pundit HOT 8 CLOSED

Can't really see anything worthwhile in master, what is it you need that isn't released?

d7ef22b is quite useful for my projects.

FWIW, as an outsider evaluating a gem, there is something to be said about seeing recent and regular releases that inspires confidence, even when those releases only include a handful of small changes.

@Kriechi hmm, missed that one when I was looking over the git log, I guess that's useful enough to merit a gem release.

@christiannelson for real? This library is like 100 lines of code. You can read the entire source in five minutes and probably rewrite it in twenty. Why would you possibly want regular releases of this? There are a grand total of 79 commits, and probably 80% of those are doc changes.

@jnicklas It's just an idea worth entertaining. You obviously get to choose what you do with your project. :)

Given how small and simple the library is, I would think that only a couple of small commits could warrant a release. And by "regular," I don't mean scheduled (or on a schedule). I meant producing a (point) release after a small number of commits, rather than waiting for something big to come along. I'm saying that developers, when evaluating what tools to use, look at activity and releases. Also, sites that generate "vitality" stats for open source projects (e.g. ruby toolbox) count release and time of last release in their score. And to be clear, I'm not suggesting gaming the system to make pundit seem more active or anything nefarious like that.

Regardless of what you choose to do, thanks for creating pundit.

I agree with @Kriechi, I started using Pundit a few minutes ago and pretty quickly ran into the lack of support for pundit_user. I think a proper gem release is well deserved, especially since the README explains why and how to use it this method and makes no mention of it not being released yet. I'll throw in a workaround, but would much prefer a new gem release.

(see also #84, obviously)

It's been a couple months since @Kriechi posted his original request. Are there any major blockers that would prevent a release? I'm happy to help out since I'm planning on using Pundit, need to have pundit_user, and don't really want to point my Gemfile to master for too long.

from pundit.

I've just released a new pundit 0.2.2 which includes the pundit_user improvement. You can update with bundle update pundit.
