Just curious, is there some degree of promise of few breaking changes for newer versions that makes this version a better one to dive in on than others? The debugger is pretty cool, but the 0.x has kept me from trying Elm on a bigger project than just toying around with it.
Right now, we’re working on tooling to automate upgrading. For example, for this release, you can use elm-format with the --upgrade flag to automatically update the syntax. Together with elm-upgrade, you can automate upgrading your deps.
0.16 -> 0.17 was a big breaking change. I foresee any other future releases will have substantial tooling for upgrades :)
First of all, there were a lot of changes in 0.17, but upgrade from 0.16 was not that hard.
Upgrade from 0.17 to 0.18 should be much easier and pretty straightforward, thanks to elm-format.
Good news — for the next few months no major changes in Elm land. ;)

What a disappointment looks like I won’t be able to play with the new version on OpenBSD due to W^X violations.
There’s an ElmTown podcast on 0.18 where we discuss some of the interesting things that it brings
