Release 1.50 of perl-workflow

Jonas Brømsø - Jan 30 '21 - - Dev Community

perl-workflow is picking up so much speed I did not have the time to write up a proper announcement of the 1.50 release.

This relases is continuing the cleaning and bug fixing.

Discussions have started on the general direction of perl-workflow and we are getting en route to flesh out a road map for a major release.

My hope it that the major release, is going to set a new direction for the perl-workflow framework and it might be cutting ties with some of the old ways of doings things, but we want to do this in good order and without breaking backwards compability without a proper deprecation cycle.

The plan is to have some of the upcoming releases, to be announcements of deprection notices, where the deprectation will be scheduled for exection down the line.

perl-workflow has expended it number of project members with two. This gives us the ability to handle some of all the work more effectively and all changes can be reviewed, which is a major step up from one maintainer.
