Zig: What to Expect from Release Month

January 17, 2025 Hey everyone, We've been relatively quiet over here at the Zig Software Foundation for a few months now and so it's about time to give y'all an update. To be honest, these quiet times are my personal favorite - when the release pressure is off, there are no upcoming conferences, and there are long stretches of uninterrupted coding on big projects - the ones that require full and undivided attention for days or weeks in a row.

To be honest, these quiet times are my personal favorite - when the release pressure is off, there are no upcoming conferences, and there are long stretches of uninterrupted coding on big projects - the ones that require full and undivided attention for days or weeks in a row. That deadline slipped by mainly because I was caught up in a rather large branch I wanted to finish, however, LLVM ended up making a January 14th 19.1.7 release, which is expected to be their last one in the series, so turns out we are right on schedule. During this time I expect to shelf bigger goals, instead focusing on the Pull Request queue, which has admittedly been a bit neglected recently, as well as triaging all the open issues and putting together a realistic set of priorities to get finished before the cutoff.
