After many weekends and evenings of fixing little bugs, cleaning up the codebase, and polishing the build, I’ve finally managed to publish v1.0.0 of jobson.

I open-sourced jobson late November 2017. The version I demoed here was already close to release-grade in terms of implementation (the server had >200 tests, was used in prod, etc.). However, the deployment, installation, documentation, and maintenance needed work.

For the open-source release, I wanted to make sure that jobson was OSS-grade before putting a 1.0.0 badge on it. The main changes over the last year are:

• Stabilized all user-facing APIs (CLI, configuration, HTTP). No known breaking changes since Feb 2018.
• Added more systemtests to ensure the above
• Reimplemented UI in Typescript
• Refactored and cleaned up server code
• Fixed various bugs (race conditions, etc.)
• Added various features into the specs (better output collection, templating, etc.)
• Added more datatypes (float, int, long, etc.)
• Added a lot more documentation, including API documentation
• Significantly improved the build, which now builds the full stack into Debian packages, Docker images, etc.

I plan on patching 1.0.0 slightly with some little annoyances I spotted (immediately after deploying, of course), followed by another round of YouTube videos and other media. After that, it’s time to start slowly chipping away at 1.1.0.
