The 0.17.0 release cycle will be short, they said

Remember Roadmap in 0.16 release notes? It is not short after all.

@andrewrk says this in zulip:

wow. what a detour. the 0.17 milestone continues to bless me with deceptively complex issues

#std > rubber ducking @ :speech_balloon:

I do not expect 0.17 to be released before the end of the month.

I’ve been thinking the same thing. It was supposed to be just updating LLVM.
I’m fine with letting them cook. It will be ready when it’s ready.

Sorry for off-topic but I am really eager to know:

having a working debugger is so nice

Is this sarcasm or is there a good way to enter debug mode in Zig? I have tried some of the LLDB solutions that people have suggested but I found it quite hard to get it right (not sure if it was my fault or it’s just buggy).

Idk about lldb but Gdb has always been kind to me for zig

I was waiting for 0.17 for the new LLVM version to move my C project from CMake to Zig build. I ended up just using an 0.17-dev version to get the new LLVM in Zig and that’s worked great for me :slight_smile:

Yes, if you have access to 0.17, I guess.
