New jsonschema release cut/version coming up?

[JonKohler]

Hey QQ - We're running jsonschema 2.5.1 in one of our products and looking to do a bit of a tech refresh. I see 2.6.0 is out/stable as of Feb 2017, but do see a lot of commits into master since that time. We're using draft4 schema, and aren't looking at draft 6/7 at all yet, as this particular product is using swagger/openapi 2.0 only.

Is there a milestone that we're trending to on this project to cut (whatever the next version is going to be?) Or does this even matter for draft4 use cases?

Hi!

So on master (and to be released) the only draft4-relevant change is the new TypeChecker interface, which lets you do more than just isinstance checks on JSON types. If that's something interesting to you it'll be out imminently, but yeah won't see a release until draft-06 changes are merged as well, just because I don't have enough time to separate them fully. The draft-06 stuff is on a branch (called draft-06) which I'd definitely appreciate feedback on, but if you're not actually using Draft 6 likely isn't relevant to you.
