It's been a while since the last release, and I think we have accumulated plenty of improvements across the board [1]. There are new IOs to be released, performance improvements, and a ton of fixes.
As a general principle, I'm always advocating for delaying releases when there are outstanding bug fixes. For new features, however, I'm usually on the fence. It happens sometimes that new features are rushed to make a release, then we discover important issues later on, and sometimes regret the decision. Of course, UnboundedSource for the SparkRunner and MqttIo would be additional great improvements, and we should get that out to our users as soon as possible too. In this particular case, I think it is perfectly reasonable either to: * try to get 0.3.0 out now and follow it quickly with 0.4.0, as soon as these improvements are ready, or * delay the release, but with a specific time box of a few days. I'd give some preference to the first option now, since it is important to keep a cadence of releases during incubation and build experience with the process. If we were post-graduation, I'd almost certainly give a preference to the second approach.
