TODOs for making v0.8.x the new master

Before merge

• merge PR firestore, fix: rename wotfirestore to firestore #494
• publish version 0.7.8 on NPM
• create branch v0.7.x for possible fixes in the future, see https://github.com/eclipse/thingweb.node-wot/tree/v0.7.x
• fix wotfirestore naming issue in v0.8.x also (see V0.8.x merge master #502), WoT Firestore binding naming #489

After merge

• check all examples (on-going work)
• remove for the time being branch v0.8.x
• fix remaining issues, e.g., ExposedThing implementing setPropertyObserveHandler(), setPropertyUnobserveHandler(), ...
• bring back HTTP server test, see https://github.com/eclipse/thingweb.node-wot/blob/59fe3264bb4cfa19a3c8cddb0f1c68b4685a4a47/packages/binding-http/test/http-server-test.ts#L73-L74

Did I miss anything?

I think is a good idea to keep track of it 👍🏻 , but I also suggest that we defined and date when we drop the support for 0.7.x. We don't have so many resources... I am afraid it would be a mess handling issues for two versions. 🤔

I agree. I do not plan to propose to update the branch. In the past we created a branch for v0.6.x also. However, we did not proceed to work on it. I expect to happen the same this time.
IF someone wants to take over the work we have a clean branch one can take a look at.

This can be closed no?

[danielpeintner]

Yes, let's close it even though the part of updating all examples is not done yet.
I will try to work on #618

Please take a look at #618 (comment) and provide feedback.
I have the feeling we should remove MANY examples and bring them only back is there is need for it.
