Are we supposed to use 0.9.7?

[ndevenish]

I'm left unsure if 0.9.7 is supposed to be used externally, or if it's just an internal/alpha partial release before something considered ready for production:

• pycbf apparently un-regenerated (Procedure to regenerate pycbf? #59)
• https://github.com/cbflib/cbflib is not updated (which my understanding was to be the new home)
• The README still says 0.9.6:

  cbflib/README

  Lines 14 to 18 in 5232590

  	CBFlib
  	README
  	Information for CBFlib 0.9.6 release of 4 December 2018

• CBFlib.html still says 0.9.5:

  cbflib/doc/CBFlib.html

  Lines 111 to 115 in 5232590

  	<b>An API for CBF/imgCIF<br />
  	Crystallographic Binary Files with ASCII Support</b><br />
  	Version 0.9.5<BR>
  	27 April 2014<BR>
  	rev 22 February 2015<br />

• The official(?) web site http://www.bernstein-plus-sons.com/software/CBF/ still says 0.9.6
• The CMakeLists.txt still says 0.9.6 (and tries to download the 0.9.6 test data):

  cbflib/CMakeLists.txt

  Line 5 in 5232590

  # Version 0.9.6 06 November 2018 #

• The CBFlib internal version still says that it is 0.9.6 (Since this is the most important actual baked-in version number, this is possibly the biggest signal that I shouldn't be using 0.9.7):

  cbflib/include/cbf.h

  Lines 262 to 264 in 5232590

  	#define CBF_VERS_MAJOR 0 /* For major interface/format changes */
  	#define CBF_VERS_MINOR 9 /* For minor interface/format changes */
  	#define CBF_VERS_RELEASE 6 /* For tweaks, bug-fixes, or development */

• The github release page says "Initial CBFlib-0.9.7" whereas the previous release says "CBFlib-0.9.6 Production Release"
• The branch https://github.com/yayahjb/cbflib/tree/CBFlib-0.9.7-devel on this repository is still actively under development
• The github PR CBFlib 0.9.7 devel cbflib/cbflib#1 for development is unmerged but up-to-date with the CBFlib-devel branch, indicating that it is actively maintained

It is fine if this is the case - I am just unsure if I should put time into diagnosing the issues I'm having or whether I should just wait for a complete release!

Dear Nick, Since the upgrade of CBFlib main to 0.9.7, I have tried to keep main and the 0.9.7 branch in sync except for iffy fixes, but you seem to have found something that drifted unintentionally. I leave it to you, Aaron and Billy to decide what part of what is there now is essential to you now and I will rejoin the effort in late September. I really am out of bandwidth right now. Regards, Herbert

Okay, so we have to deal with things as they are for now. Thanks for clarifying.
