Release 1.5

[phadej]

I see @byorgey updated and upload a lot of other diagrams packages, thanks for that! But this package seems to be forgotten?

[byorgey]

Not forgotten! I have been having difficulty getting it to pass CI / build on all versions of GHC we want to support. I think it is pretty close though, I think we will just drop support for GHC 7.10 and it should be good to go.

One option is to merge tightly coupled diagrams-* packages into single repository, and use cabal v2-build for development (and haskell-ci for CI setup, instead of home brewed one; disclaimer I'm a maintainer of haskell-ci).

Single repository for all packages would improve the developer experience, that I can tell from servant and few other smaller "package universes" maintenance experience. It looks like most of diagrams is released in a lock-step, so separate repositories aren't really that separate.

diagrams-postscript-1.5 is now on Hackage.

I think you are 100% right about the benefits of moving to a monorepo. We just haven't bitten the bullet yet. Do you have any experience actually doing such a migration? I'm worried about how to maintain/migrate things like commit histories, github issues, etc.

[phadej]

git history can be maintained to some degree, using method described in https://saintgimp.org/2013/01/22/merging-two-git-repositories-into-one-repository-without-losing-file-history/

For GitHub side of things, I have no idea. I'd migrate them manually, given there are less than 10 open issues in most repositories (except diagrams-lib, which could be the target repository?). One can view that as an opportunity to go through all open issues. As for closed issues, they would still be there, even if you archive the repositories.

Looks like releases were done. Thanks.
