I'm in favor of just continuing forward with getting all of the open/identified issues in for 1.4 and then seeing where the Spark release process is before cutting the release. I would agree it's worth getting Spark 3.5 support as long as it doesn't drag on too long.
We can always cut a 1.5 that just includes just the updated Spark support if it starts to drag out, but let's try for 1.4. -Dan On Wed, Aug 30, 2023 at 4:31 PM Anton Okolnychyi <aokolnyc...@apple.com.invalid> wrote: > Hey everyone, > > I have been one of the supporters for releasing Java 1.4 end of Aug or > early Sep.
