1.0 Roadmap

[lgoettgens]

This issue contains a list of things that have to be done/changed in Aqua before I would call out a 1.0 release.
@ everyone feel free to comment your opinions to this below.

• docs: versioning strategy (x-ref Release v1.0.0 for more flexible [compat] ? #229)
• reduce code duplication in test_all; instead have some registering mechanism
• split different tests into submodules (x-ref Split different tests into submodules #154)
• docs: how to add a new test
• go through the already existing tests, clean them up, resolve major issues:
  • test_ambiguities:
    • ambiguities in included modules #77
    • Testing package extentions gives ConcurrencyViolationError #308
    • Unclear error message when putting an alias on the exclude list #290
    • make it somehow work with package extensions
    • re-work interface (more ways to interact than just the one test_* function)
  • test_unbound_args:
    • make it somehow work with package extensions
    • re-work interface (more ways to interact than just the one test_* function)
  • test_undefined_exports:
    • re-work interface (more ways to interact than just the one test_* function)
  • test_stale_deps:
    • Rename stale dependencies to unused dependencies ? #264
    • re-work interface (more ways to interact than just the one test_* function)
  • test_project_extras:
    • test_project_extras should compare compat entries #251
    • Decide if this test is still needed.
  • test_deps_compat:
    • Potential inconsistency: Compat versioning of base packages #294
  • test_piracies:
    • re-work interface (more ways to interact than just the one test_* function)
    • make it somehow work with package extensions
  • test_persistent_tasks:
    • persistent_task should respect the environment #292

New tests: Since they have not been mentioned in the above list, I would like to add some things about them. Until the process to 1.0 is finished, I won't put any effort myself into adding new tests. If someone opens a PR with a new test, this will probably need to wait for some time where it can be incorporated in a between-version of this process, or even until 1.0 is finished, and then added as described in the versioning strategy.

Why not release #313 as 1.0 and rename this issue to "2.0 Roadmap" ? This would give more maneuvering space between "new feature added" and "breaking" than for 0.x versions.

No code will be ever perfect, and IMHO Aqua is already good (and important) enough to have a 1.0 base version.

I didn't have a look into the internals, though.
