It's also difficult to contribute. Because of the one-commit-per-release strategy, Pull Requests aren't accepted (though the changes normally end up in the next release).

I've had a one-line bug-fix pull request rejected with the answer of something like "that's fixed in version 2". Well, I'm glad it's fixed in v2, but now I have to maintain my own fork until v2 is released and is stable enough for production use.

I have massive respect for Dmitry's pure abilities and the library as a whole, but trying to contribute is pretty frustrating.

Also, a ChangeLog would be great.

Or, for that matter, per-version documentation.

Yeah. I wish he knew about "Commit early, commit often"...

He does. Also, he doesn't like contributions that much because most of the contributions he gets are (his words) "bad". Dmitry is ultra talented, but some of his opinions are bound to shock a few developers. If interested, see this interview with him on The Changelog:

Thanks!
