Would it be possible to create tags (and github releases)?

[onelittlehope]

The reason behind the request is to be able to pin to a specific version of the plugin for security/stability reasons.

[alex-courtis]

That is quite a reasonable request.

#634 has highlighted the need for this.

What tags are you thinking of:

• nvim version?
• nerd font version?
• something else?

[onelittlehope]

Maybe a combination of:

• nvim-web-devicons project version
• nerd font version

or

• nvim-web-devicons project version only with the understanding being that the project only supports the latest nerd font and whenever backwards compatibility is needed something like a -compat tag will be created like here:

[alex-courtis]

It looks like we do actually have tags for nerd font compatibility and nvim-web-devicons versions.

Tag nerd-v3.2-compat has been added at 2141721, before 3.3 icons were added.

[alex-courtis]

Raised PR #638 to document compatibility tags.

I'd be most grateful for your review @onelittlehope

[alex-courtis]

We do have a couple of very out of date release tags: nvim-web-devicons-v0.100.0

nvim-web-devicons could be considered stable. Do you think it's time for v1.0.0 @gegoune ?

[gegoune]

Should be fine, if you are happy with current API.

[alex-courtis]

It looks like we'll need to add release please as per nvim-tree. That will take care of tags and releases.
