Hi. With no strong objections on DISCUSS thread, some issues raised and addressed, and a reminder from Carl about the bylaws for the release process, I propose we release the first version of Hive 2 (2.0), and nominate myself as release manager. The goal is to have the first release of Hive with aggressive set of new features, some of which are ready to use and some are at experimental stage and will be developed in future Hive 2 releases, in line with the Hive-1-Hive-2 split discussion. If the vote passes, the timeline to create a branch should be around the end of next week (to minimize merging in the wake of the release), and the timeline to release would be around the end of November, depending on the issues found during the RC cutting process, as usual.
Please vote: +1 proceed with the release plan +-0 don’t care -1 don’t proceed with the release plan, for such and such reasons The vote will run for 3 days.
