Build for 2.5.0-beta?

[ashawley]

PhantomJS 2.5.0-beta was released earlier this year and works ok for me on a mac. I haven't tested it anywhere else.

It's worth getting this beta in more people's hands, IMO, to support upstream development. Would it be possible to just push a beta version to rubygems.org for now? I'm not suggesting this get merged to master. Maybe just make a 2.5 branch for now?

Despite the news that the current PhantomJS maintainer left to work on a headless Web development tool targeting Chromium, there is a lot of work and improvements in PhantomJS 2.5.0. The pre-releases should start getting exposed in hopes of improving the chance of a stable release.

Thanks for phantomjs-gem!

Well it builds in Ubuntu trusty, so that's good!

I'm getting this when running my test. SpeakEZ:2.5.0-beta

Cliver::Dependency::VersionMismatch:
  Could not find an executable '/Users/victor/.phantomjs/2.5.0.beta/darwin/bin/phantomjs' that matched the requirements '>= 1.8.1', '< 3.0'. Found versions were {"/Users/victor/.phantomjs/2.5.0.beta/darwin/bin/phantomjs"=>"6.dylib"}

I am doing something wrong?

@victorhazbun Were you able to resolve your issue?

[ashawley]

Seems 2.5 release is postponed. Closing.
