Plans for updates?

Thanks for the great library! I'm having trouble with it in some more recent gleam projects that are targeting more recent versions of the stdlib. Do you have plans to update this library? If not, I'd be happy to do a friendly fork and upstream the changes if you're open to it.

I'd appreciate pull requests but the ones already open don't pass the workflows and people don't come back to fix them so if you want your pull request to merge, make sure it passes the workflows(which may require changes to the workflows themselves)! Also, now that there is an official gleam time package, whenever possible, birl should avoid duplicating types and functions, so everything should be rewired to use the types and functions of the official package whenever they exist!

Makes sense, but how much do you care about back compat? Can I make breaking changes in order to integrate fully with gleam-time, or is backcompat important. For now I'm taking a compat layer approach so no current usage will break, but that's less clean.

@massivefermion I opened three PRs but left the bigger ones as drafts. The simplest is #55 which updates the ci and formatting for later versions. It should pass ci and be easy to review.

[tylerbutler]

My suggestion: release #55 and #53 as version 1.9 and then #54 as 2.0.

I merged #55! Is there anything you need to do before the drafts are ready for review?

There were some merge conflicts I needed to resolve, but I did that and they should be ready to go. Take note of the breaking changes. 😊

Let me know if you want other changes.
