Dear Ignite Community!
I suggest starting Apache Ignite 2.18.0 release activities.
It's been almost eleven months since our last release (14 Feb 2025) and
there are a lot of new commits [1] (since
c257a369d84b1ccfde7242664143e4d43fa) in master. I think it is a good time
to
start the discussion for 2.18.0.
List of fixed issues [2] which are waiting for their release date. For
example:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-24130 Ability to configure
persitence folder for DataRegion
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-24777 Performance statistics:
wrong number of SQL query executions
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-24884 SQL. Limit joins number
to commute in planning
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-25680?jql=labels%20%3D%20IEP-119
Numerous IEP-119 related issues
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-25449 Fix Memory Leak in
HeavyQueriesTracker
.. and so on
Are there any other must have items that we want to include in the release?
I would like to be the release manager. Proposed timeline:
Scope Freeze: January 30, 2026
Code Freeze: February 16, 2026
Voting Date: February 23, 2026
Release Date: March 02, 2026
