Release 1.1.3 about reglang

[chdoc]

I agree. What's the timeline for this? I have seen that 8.15_rc1 has been tagged, but I haven't seen any "please choose your version" issues yet. I'm still confused as to whether packages should preferably release as soon as x_rc1 is tagged or wait until x.0 is tagged.

Here is how I personally view the processes, based on discussion with the people involved:

1. Coq release manager tags 8.XY+rc1, indicating that 8.XY is considered stable enough for project maintainers to start testing with it.
2. Maintainers of crucial utility libraries and plugins (aac-tactics, paramcoq, ...) test their projects with 8.XY and immediately make releases that are initially packaged in extra-dev (if necessary), enabling others that depend on them to test with 8.XY+rc1.
3. 8.XY.0 is released and all 8.XY-related packages forced into extra-dev migrate to released.
4. Coq Platform maintainers open issues about tags/packages for the forthcoming 8.XY Platform release.
5. The Coq Platform release for Coq 8.XY is tagged and distributed to Snap store, etc.

So the bottom line: we can tag and release 1.1.3 as soon as we have tested with 8.15+rc1, but we can also wait with tagging until Platform maintainers open an issue about the 8.15 platform release.

Well, AFAIK there has not yet been any conclusion on how to deal with this in mathcomp, and I don't think it makes sense to tag directly before mathcomp. I'll put the discussion on the platform release process on agenda of the next mathcomp meeting. Feel free to join this meeting.

I'll also try and schedule some time to make another pass over #37

OK, I can join the next MC meeting (looks like it's Jan 12?).

@chdoc OK to add coq-platform tag/topic to the reglang repo? It's convenient to track which projects here are in the Platform.

[chdoc]

Sure, go ahead! 👍

To make it official, we now aim to release version 1.1.3 of RegLang after we have confirmed it works with MathComp 1.14.0, to be released week of Jan 17, 2022.
