I am in doubt: releasing a new version of my chess engine or wait for Zig 0.16.
Does anyone know (estimate) when 0.16 will be there?
(This because of some array-access slow-down in 0.15.2)

No fixed release schedule afaik, I think I heard releases are roughly every few months, though.
To be honest? You should probably account for the changes when they actually release, rather than waiting around.

I think there’ll be something to that effect this weekend, after the Zig Day in Italy.

Does the milestone in github still valid or not?
If I assume your chess engine might release in the next 6 months+, use 0.16.x-dev instead IMO.
Anybody knew where’s the tracker for 0.16 milestone?

98% complete, 3 issues left.
But that is not a good indicator. Keep in mind more could be added, and remaining ones could take a while. Its also possible andrew decides they aren’t worth blocking 0.16 and releases without them.
But considering it has been a while since 0.15, with the above context, it’s reasonable to say 0.16 will release soon.
