Gem status?

[tylerwillingham]

What's the status of this gem? Merges this year have been slow, Chewy 8 with ES8 support is unreleased, and Elasticsearch 9 was released this year.

I've had a really positive experience as a Chewy user over the last 8 years and I'd like to give back but seeing issues and PRs go unanswered for long periods of time is concerning.

@barthez I saw you helped move one of the latest merged PRs through. Hoping this ping brings some visibility to this question

[mjankowski]

Curious as well.

V8 beta release was over a year ago -- https://github.com/toptal/chewy/releases/tag/v8.0.0-beta

Is the gem still maintained?

Do you need help? Contributors? Reviews?

Would be great to get newer versions of ES, ruby, rails, etc - with official support.

Not sure how to get maintainer response.

@narghev pinging you since I saw you're at Toptal and have some recent activity in toptal/picasso.
Is there an internal team that owns this gem that you could help us ping?

The gem is still alive and well, but we've had some other priorities to focus on internally.

Do you need help? Contributors? Reviews?

Those are always welcome indeed.

Thanks @bbatsov. I thought/hoped that was the case. Is there a sense of what's outstanding to prepare for the 8.x release? I can contribute some time

I'd love insight on this as well. Curious what's needed to get the v8 beta release turned into an actual release. Happy to help, just need guidance.

Related, I believe ES7 is now EOL as of last week.

Hello everyone! The gem is still alive and we have started the path to Chewy 9. As you can see currently we are in V8 and working on some improvements. I don't think v9 will take so much time but we need to test it internally.

Cheers!
