Dear skimagers, We are aiming to release scikit-image 1.0 near the end of the year. We are, however, planning to make a number of breaking changes in the API that will affect downstream libraries. We have published a proposal for how we plan to do this at https://bit.ly/skip-3. The gist of it is: - we'll release 0.19 in the coming weeks. - we'll release 0.20 immediately after, which will be exactly the same but with a warning to pin scikit-image to `<0.20` (for those that want to stay in 0.x land indefinitely) or `!=0.20.*` (for those that want to be "on the ball" when 1.0 is released and update their code as soon as possible). - we'll publish a transition guide along with 1.0rc0, and maintain 0.19.x with bug fixes for another year to give users time to transition. The document describes alternative approaches ("change the wheels on the bus while still driving it" or "make a new bus with a new name") and why the core team ultimately chose to promote the current approach. Nonetheless, scikit-image is committed to being a community-led project, so we are still gathering feedback and can make substantive modifications to the plan going forward. Please don't hesitate to voice your concerns so we can make the best choice for our entire community going forward! Thank you, Juan.
