Release 2.10.0 to get DeprecationWarnings and the updated documentation. Done. :heavy_check_mark: \r\n1. Maybe release further versions in the 2.10.x line if necessary (for other issues) Done. :heavy_check_mark: \r\n1. Prepare semver 3 line soon and remove deprecated functions in the communicated version. :heavy_check_mark:\r\n\r\n# Questions\r\n\r\n@python-semver/reviewers  I think we need to clarify some questions to lay down our removal plan:\r\n\r\n1. Should we start with the semver 3 release after 2.10.0 is published?\r\n\r\n   IMHO, we should soon start with working on semver 3. Issues for semver 3 are piling up. I also think, focusing on *one* Python version (version 3 in this case) helps to make it easier to develop. That means, we can leave Python 2 behind.\r\n\r\n2. Would it be a good idea to keep the deprecated functions for 3.0.0, but remove them in, lets say, version 3.1.0?\r\n\r\n   This makes the move a bit smoother as not all deprecated function will vanish all of a sudden when updating to 3.0.0. \r\n\r\n3. Anything else you would like to see it addressed?\r\n\r\nThank for your feedback. :+1: \r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n**Update**: Due to #236, extended the list of deprecated functions with `semver.compare`(?), `semver.match`, `semver.max_ver`, and `semver.min_ver`. Also mention 2.10.0 and not 2.9.2.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/tomschr","@type":"Person","name":"tomschr"},"datePublished":"2020-04-11T11:19:26.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/233/python-semver/issues/233"}
