Hi Community, I am wrapping up the license issue with AVRO 1.7.8 [1]. I will shortly begin the release for 1.7.8[2]. If there are any issues you want to see in 1.7.8 and that is not present in the branch-1.7 [3] please comment on the release ticket for 1.7.8[2]. Backports for a 2-year-old branch are very difficult, cumbersome and in some cases major changes. I will make an honest effort to backport changes to the branch once comments are made. If you know the backport(cherry-pick) won't be clean, please submit a pull request [4] so that it will make the release work a lot easier and backports accurate.
If you have any questions feel free to reply to this or open a new thread. [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2023 [2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1998 [3] https://s.apache.org/avro-branch-1.7 [4] https://github.com/apache/avro/compare Suraj Acharya
