Since almost all of the items in TODO are C++ or Python issues, I can do a final review today to remove anything that isn't absolutely necessary for 0.9.0. We have a couple of nasty bugs still in TODO that we should try to fix -- in the event that they cannot be fixed, we may need to do a 0.9.1 in a week or two. I would suggest we wait to cut the RC until Monday to give enough time for these last items to get fixes in.
There are some other things that need doing, like updates per changes to the ASF checksum policy ARROW-2268. I can write by EOD today with a status report on the issues in TODO. I believe you need to be a PMC to undertake the source release process prior to the vote -- I am happy to help with this on Monday. - Wes On Thu, Mar 8, 2018 at 2:25 PM, Siddharth Teotia <siddha...@dremio.com> wrote: > All, > > I plan to get RC out over the weekend or early Monday.
