Hi folks, As the community is preparing 1.0 GA release, I feel it is still valuable to have another release in 0.x series, i.e., 0.15.0 release, to support better engine integration, including Spark 3.5 support, Flink 1.18 support, Trino Hudi native connector support with Hadoop-agnostic abstractions and APIs. I volunteer to be the release manager of the 0.15.0 release, given that I drive or am familiar with these changes.
To maintain the stability of 0.x releases, I propose that we should mostly merge bug fixes and changes resolving regressions to 0.x releases. No backward incompatible format change should be included in future 0.x releases. Any improvements or major features should be excluded except for rare occasions at RM's discretion. As we advance, I also propose that we have a process to merge changes from master to branch-0.x [1] when necessary. From now on, the author of the original PR merged to master is responsible for raising another PR against branch-0.x, if the author wants the change to be in 0.x releases. Let me know your thoughts.
