curious if there are plans for a release

[smacke]

Hi,

Thanks to the maintainers for starting this project -- it's hard to overstate the impact that cloudpickle has had in filling in the gaps of Python's built-in pickling capabilities, and one only needs to look at the pypistats for cloudpickle to see how important it has become in industry and other open source projects.

I was wondering if there are any plans for another release at some point -- I can see that there have been quite a lot of important developments since the last one, such as improved compatibility with Python 3.10. I don't mean to be pushy; as a maintainer of a few (far less impactful) open source projects myself, I know it's a thankless job. :) Just curious if there is a timeline in effect; no worries if not.

Hi @smacke. We plan to release cloudpickle within the next couple of weeks - before releasing, we typically check through tailored CI workflows that the newcloudpickle remains backwards-compatible with some widely used downstream libraries relying on cloudpickle, such as ray, dask and joblib. However, some of these workflows are broken, and need fixes (see #432 ). Once they are fixed, we can run the downstream tests, and once they pass, we will release cloudpickle 2.0.0.

Just checking in, since the cloudpickle==2.0.0 release is out, can this issue be closed?

It can be closed indeed, thanks @jrbourbeau!
