Hey Alex, I have noticed the same, and it is also the reason why we have Alpha versions. For now I have noticed the following:
* Tasks can get in limbo between scheduler and executor: https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/pull/1948 <https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/pull/1948> * Try_number not increased due to reset in LocalTaskJob: https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/pull/1969 <https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/pull/1969> * one_failed trigger not executed My idea is to move to a Samba style of releases eventually, but for now I would like to get master into a state that we understand and therefore not accept any patches that do not address any bugs. If you (or anyone else) can review the above PRs and add your own as well then I can create another Alpha version. I’ll be on gitter as much as I can so we can speed up if needed. - Bolke > On 3 Jan 2017, at 08:51, Alex Van Boxel <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hey Bolke, > > thanks for getting this moving.
