Thanks for the advice! I just sent out the notification email regarding the code freeze[1].
Additionally, regarding Stamatis' suggestion: "I feel that the current content deserves a major version bump (instead of 4.1.0 we should probably consider 5.0.0)." I don't have strong feelings either for or against this. Given the significant changes in this release, whether it would be more meaningful to define it as version 5.0 may require further discussion. Perhaps we should initiate a community email vote on whether to name it 4.1.0 or 5.0.0?

Let’s have Butao Zhang, with their Release Manager hat on, do the honors here. :-) Butao Zhang, could you please send out a [NOTICE] email announcing that the code freeze for 4.1.0 is set for the 25th? Post that, only critical items will be considered for the release and must be cherry-picked to the release branch (alongside master, where applicable). Feel free to phrase it accordingly. –Ayush On Mon, 23 Jun 2025 at 14:33, Denys Kuzmenko <dkuzme...@apache.org> wrote: HIVE-29038 is more like an open discussion. 25th sounds good! Could we consider sending out a notification email? Thanks!
