When is the next dev release going to happen? I want to test the restartable (just saw it was approved). ๐Ÿ˜—

You donโ€™t have to wait on a dev release, once itโ€™s been merged and the wheels have been built, you can
Copy code
export PANTS_SHA=<main sha>
./pants ...
update the pants_version in pants.toml accordingly (to a 2.8.0.dev3 or so) and test it out.. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Not sure if this is supposed to be a well kept maintainer secret, but I happened to figure it out, soโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜›

I won't tell anyone ๐Ÿ˜‰

Iโ€™m not sure if the version needs to be tweaked in the
pants.toml
.. only tried this once yetโ€ฆ

Ah, no, guess not too secret, itโ€™s actually documented in the
pants
script:
Copy code
# NOTE: To use an unreleased version of Pants from the pantsbuild/pants master branch,
#  locate the master branch SHA, set PANTS_SHA=<SHA> in the environment, and run this script as usual.
#
# E.g., PANTS_SHA=725fdaf504237190f6787dda3d72c39010a4c574 ./pants --version
