I hope that Andrey speaks up and lets us know how his library is coming along.
Well, it's not going as fast as I'd prefer. Due to various matters I have little time to work on v2 lately but I'm still eager to bring this library to Boost. Right now I'm refactoring sink frontends to move record formatting to the sink frontend level. Also, the async frontend will use a new lock-free queue, which should improve performance. There are a few design decisions to make and quite some time to experiment with the new code, that's why it's taking so long.
Your efforts are appreciated. I think the reason for much of the interest is that many of us are actually using your library 'as-is' today. For those that are, we're going to have to refactor once a new version is available. In that regard we'll have to deal with breaking changes anyway.
Also there is much to do left, including the mentioned port to Phoenix v3. I didn't look into it yet, so I can't estimate how long it will take. Taking the chance, I wouldn't mind if someone wants to provide patches in this area.
Not sure if this was mentioned or not, but do you have a public repo with your latest code so interested early adopters can help contribute patches against the that?
There are other things planned, some of which were mentioned during the review (trivial logging issues, channel name changing, etc.), some were identified by users (problems with initialization from settings, boundless record queue in async sink). And of course, docs need updating (although this is partially done).
It sounds like it might be worth getting the library to a 'stable enough' state for an addition to boost and simply make it clear in the docs that certain interfaces might be deprecated in a later revision? Like I said many are using it now and the wider exposure might prompt more volunteer help.
Sorry, I know it takes too long, the review took place more than a year ago. I hope I can do better in the coming days.
Good luck! I had quite a few reservations during the review as I recall but I am using your library because I do think it is a good library and as I said all the work you've put into it is very much appreciated. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the improvements you've made.
