Hi, As discussed at the biweekly sync call, I wanted to gauge interest in doing a 4.0.1 patch release.
There currently are 14 issues in JIRA tagged with 4.0.1 [1]. There are 3 segfaults, including one that a cuDF maintainer raised yesterday [2] in requesting a patch release. I don't want to bias the discussion by giving my opinion (yet). I will say that the question is whether someone (or multiple people) wants to step up and drive a release--if releases were costless, this would be much different. We did decide to allow for a simpler patch release process (source vote only, not on binary artifacts), so this could be a test for whether that does simplify matters and/or lets us better distribute the work of producing binary artifacts. Any thoughts--especially from those who could/would be release manager? Thanks, Neal [1]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20ARROW%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%204.0.1 [2]: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r9444ad73db11fe071a59ef5c084c6d1a02d26d55d23320ea8e0a67ae%40%3Cdev.arrow.apache.org%3E
