v0.2.0 Release Checklist

[vestrel00]

Target release date

I'm excited for this release 🔥🔥🔥 IT IS JAM-PACKED WITH AWESOME NEW FEATURES!!! I'm targeting to make this release on...

March 25

Changes to be included in the release

I could use a milestone and/or project for this... but nah. I don't want to add anymore of those. This should do just fine 😄. I ❤️ talking to myself! For others that are reading this, I'm not crazy! I'm putting all the stuff that I have "TODO" in issues instead of a typical local text file, which I might accidentally delete. Also, this gives visibility on what I'm working on 🔥

Note that the (target completion date) for each issue is in parenthesis. It's more for me so I don't panic about having so much stuff to do 🤣. It also keeps me organized and on track 😎

2. Blocked phone numbers #24 (Feb 26)
3. SIM card query, insert, update, and delete #25 (Mar 20)

I decided to focus on adding more features in this release. This means that I moved the following issues to the next release (v0.2.1); #158, #143, #119, #120, #138

I'll also complete all remaining documentation tickets for v0.1.x milestone so that this can be the very first v0.2.x release!!!

Starting this thread about possible delays to the target date.

My community is suffering from water contamination from the Navy's jet fuel leak. My family and I (along with a lot of other households) are relocating. Most of the free time that I would usually spend on this project after work and on weekends will be spent on the relocation for the next 2 weeks.

Just sharing a bit of my life with anyone that happens to read this 😁 This project is personal ❤️

[vestrel00]

I'm thinking of pushing the target date by a week. So instead of February 25 it will be March 4. All remaining incomplete issues will also get pushed out by a week.

I'm just thinking about it. We will see what happens in the next few days.

I wonder if anyone will ever read this stuff I'm writing 😂 If you do, poke me!! ❤️

[vestrel00]

I officially pushed the target release date by one week from February 25 to March 5.

I'm moving this week. Lots to do!

[vestrel00]

Just finished moving! I need to push out the target date by another week cuz I wasn't able to work on this at all the past week 😢

[vestrel00]

I just completed #24 blocked phone numbers in #188 CHECK IT OUT!!!

HERE IS A DEMO!! As part of #84, I added an activity to test out all of the APIs I added into the library for blocked numbers. Take a look ❤️ 🔥

Only #25 left before this release comes to life 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I CAN DO THIS! I BELIEVE IN MYSELF. FOR THE HORDE COMMUNITY !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[vestrel00]

I realized that the documentation can be improved by a lot. I added #190 to this release, which pushed the target release date by another week. It is now March 19.

[vestrel00]

I moved the target date to March 25 because work and life getting so busy. I 100% guarantee that I will not be moving the release date anymore. This is final!

Thanks for your patience everyone 🙏❤️
