Hi Jun, Could you summarize the current status of the 2.7-release branch? I see there are still several enhancement on this branch.
As this is the first time to prepare for a release for me, I am trying to walk through the release steps[1]. I might try to deploy snapshot to maven repository. Once we feel it is ready to do the release, I will start the formal release process.
