Hello Ismael and Martin, A related question on the next release, assuming an RC1 is forthcoming, is there a rough estimate when the final release would be available? Is there any chance the final release would be available by 15-Aug?
Context is that we're using the Avro library and are planning our upcoming releases and I'd like to pick up the next Avro release. I'm interested in including Nilesh's contribution as well as https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/1640 which addresses a known CVE.
