I feel like we've been taking on a lot of the overhead work of getting everyone else's code working, tested and released. We're still picking up some pieces here and there from that last push (subtle impyla differences, setup.py was broken, user confusion around backfilll deadlock messages, ...).
At this point we need to wrap up our own dev cycle and bake the features that we need in that next release. Most notably Paul's work around insulating the scheduler and Dan's work on refactoring the dependency engine. I believe that we're getting better at releases though with a better staging process and more metrics and tests running across the board. It's far from perfection still, but we're certainly hoping that each release will be easier to craft than the previous one. I'm scheduling a meeting this Wednesday, we'll be able to talk about all this. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!
