When is the release date for Version 0.31.0?

[lingcoder]

Hello,

I'm eagerly anticipating the release of version 0.31.0 of Anchor and was wondering if there is any estimated timeline for its release? As solana has its stable v2, when does anchor support it in the next anchor stabe version?

It has been ready for over 3 months now (#3259), but I guess we're still waiting for an audit to publish it.

Next version will support Solana v2 (#3219). This is also mentioned in the Recommended Solana version section of the (unpublished) release notes. We'll probably change the recommended Solana version to v2.1.0 (#3339) because v2.0's Rust version is quite outdated at this point.

To be honest, the speed of this release is really frustrating.

Before the audit passes, maybe we can have a 0.31-rc

@acheroncrypto Is there any update on the release date for v0.31.0?

@acheroncrypto When will version 0.31.0 finally be released? What's causing the delay in the release speed? Where can we see the progress of the code review?

[lingcoder]

It's been more than half a year since the last release. This work efficiency is too low, it's maddening.

I second this. Anchor development is broken now if any additional crates in the program cause transitive dependencies to bump, resulting in Solana crates getting bumped to 2.x versions. I had to pin the anchor to commit hash as per #3389 (comment)

@acheroncrypto Audit is 100% important for a new release, but it should not come at the cost of developer experience. Release a 0.31.0-rc would be the best course of action in the meantime IMHO.

@acheroncrypto Solana Mainnet is already on v2.1.x and there is still no Anchor release even for Solana v2.0.x. Can we get at least a release candidate version?
