Hi Martin, (finally I received the email from the list cleanly, w00t ;))
Thanks for pointing the previous discussion. I think 1.12.0 is OK as it's mostly the Java part that gonna be impacted. I think 2.0.0 would make more sense for a spec change impacting all languages. So, I'm proposing: - Avro 1.12.0 with Java 11 by default in Java - Avro 1.11.4 still on Java 8. It makes sense to maintain both to give users the time to update (and encourage them to do so :)). Thoughts ?
