I think we're heading towards a plausible 1.11.2 RC1: there's very few unresolved issues left[1]!
I missed the deadline that I set for the end of last week, but I will have the time to do the release candidate on Wednesday. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to review and update JIRA, merge and cherry-pick PRs that are appropriate for a minor release. All my best, Ryan [1]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3760?jql=project%20%3D%20AVRO%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%201.11.2%20%20AND%20status%20!%3D%20Resolved%20AND%20status%20!%3D%20Closed On Tue, Jun 13, 2023 at 6:46 PM Ryan Skraba <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello! > > I've done a pretty thorough report of what needed to be cherry-picked, > and set it up at https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/2284 -- I almost > hit the PR message size limit! > > This PR shouldn't be merge-squashed, but I wanted to have the > documentation there and give people a chance to take a look before I > commit them to the branch-1.11. > > There are still some open PRs that are targeted for 1.11.2, and I'd > love to get to them and get them into the release.
