• Metadata API: Remove dependency on dateutil #1722 looks like a blocker
• announcement link is wrong (see below)

otherwise LGTM

[jku]

Not sure if that was a mistake but the 1.0.0 announcement ended up in root dir so this link does not work. Do we move the announcement?

[lukpueh]

🤦 Thanks for catching this!

I've got an updated branch in https://github.com/jku/python-tuf/tree/release-0.20.0 but

• I'd like to stop saying ngclient is not ready for prod: I've updated README in the branch
• but if I do that, then I don't want to break ngclient API even in a minor way after that unless I really have to...
• which means we should maybe handle the argument name change before 0.20: ngclient: Rename constructor arg #1731?

Cool, thanks! Do you want to merge the README change with this PR, or create a separate one? Also, while changing the README, would you mind adding the cncf python-tuf slack channel to the contact section? I'm pointing migration help seekers to that section in the 1.0.0-ANNOUNCEMENT doc, and I think the slack channel would be a good way to reach out to us.

I am not so concerned about minor breaking changes prior to 1.0.0. But yeah, ...

• which means we should maybe handle the argument name change before 0.20: ngclient: Rename constructor arg #1731?

... the rename can easily land with 0.20 (just merged).

[jku]

I can make a new PR, thanks

[jku]

I'll close this as superseded by #1732 (but feel free to redo if needed @lukpueh i'm just hopefully helping out)
