Thanks for driving this, Francis.
Apache release policy and Calcite release practice have both changed
recently:
* Calcite no longer releases a .zip, only a .tar.gz; and we no longer
release an .md5[1]. If you want to drop the .zip feel free; if not, that’s
fine also.
* Apache policy now says you SHOULD NOT release an .md5[2]; you must drop
that from the release.

Hi all,
I'd like to start a vote for Avatica-Go 3.1.0 over the next few days.
Some key things I'd like to address in this release:
- Go 1.11 was released a few days ago and now includes support for
dependency management using "Go modules" (done).
Some history:
The Go community released a package manager called Dep[1] in the middle
of 2017. Dep is designed to be very similar to npm, composer and cargo.
Initially, this was poised to be the official package manager for Go. At
the beginning of 2018, Russ Cox (a member of the Go team) announced vgo
(aka Go modules) which is a different approach to package management for
Go. While there was some push back from the community working on Dep, Go
modules is now officially in the Go tool chain and will be the package
management solution of choice for all Go projects.
Transition plan for Avatica-Go:
Avatica-Go currently uses Dep and has the Gopkg.toml and Gopkg.lock
files committed. In terms of the Go team, the current (1.11) and last
(1.10) versions of Go are the actively maintained versions. Since Go 1.10
does not have support for Go modules (but there was a patch release to
support Go modules import paths to work with libraries using Go modules),
we need to keep Dep in place for now. I have added support for Go modules
(go.mod and go.sum files) to support people using Go modules for package
management. When Go 1.12 is released in early 2019, I will remove support
for Dep and all users will be required to use Go modules. This will allow
us to simplify the configuration for continuous integration and the
documentation for using and releasing Avatica-Go.
- Update dependencies (done).
- Test against Avatica 1.12 and Phoenix 5.0.0 (in progress).
- Update documentation (in progress).
This release should be pretty routine and there should be no significant
changes. I will send another email to start a vote in the next few days. If
you have any comments or questions, please let me know.
