Stage File Proxy: Roadmap towards 8.x-1.0-beta1

This meta issue is just what I was looking for twhen wondering why we didn't have a stable. Thanks!
FWIW, the existing 8.x-1.0-alpha1 did work for me OOTB, to the point that I needed for a test mirror of a dev site :) . When hotlinking at least.
I'll see if I can spot anything in the list of blockers above that make enough sense to me to test and bump.

(I say commit anything that seems to work for now and tweak edge cases later - better to ask for forgiveness than permission - this is a power-user tool)

Added imho relevant issues.

Hi all, there are some issues for beta1, but there is almost a year between last alpha and dev branch, would it be possible add a new alpha2 release with the latest changes?

@other-maintainers: My gut feeling is to have 2 or 3 alphas before a beta to keep the ball rolling.

I'll take the ball, do some bold commits and roll a new alpha tonite.

IMO it's safer to roll the next stable release and *then* do the bold commits. Wait a month or two and repeat the process.

Releases should follow a period of stability, not a period of high churn.

@greggles: Yes! I'll roll the alpha from yesterdays HEAD.

Added issue.

I see trees of green and some zombies exorcised. Hope no new demons awoken. Good nite.

Hi!

When will it be the next alpha release? It would be nice for get this issue (https://www.drupal.org/node/2867108) and works with webprofiler.

Greetings!

I agree that's a lot! Seems like a good time for a new release. I don't see many new bugs in the issue tracker (maybe none?).

Alrighty, here's an alpha 3 https://www.drupal.org/project/stage_file_proxy/releases/8.x-1.0-alpha3

Looks like all the issues are resolved, what's stopping the module from going into a beta release?

I might be able to fix some issues if there are any left blocking a beta release.

As @NormySan said. It seems all beta blockers are resolved. Is there still some work left or can we make a beta release?

Imho we need #2928564: Add stage_file_proxy stream wrapper here.

We already have a beta release, so let's close this one

If it happened then I think this is fixed :)
