All - We are a week from our target date for the 0.8.0 release.
I am looking at unresolved issues with a Fix version of 0.8.0 and it seems that we have 20+ outstanding issues. Some of these may be fixed and just not resolved but a good many of them will likely need to be moved out. See the following filter: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-255?jql=project%20%3D%20KNOX%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%200.8.0%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC The 0.8.0 focus has been agreed on to be a set of driving usecases around the use of external authentication mechanisms utilizing the pac4j provider that enables: 1. existing KnoxSSO aware application integrations to use the new authentication capabilities 2. enable development of participating applications that consume Hadoop resources through Knox using the SSOCookieProvider and CORS. There are a few other patches that would be great to get into 0.8.0 as they would complement that focus such as the PAM authentication capabilities. In order to get them in we will need to close down on outstanding issues - such as docs. I plan to make a pass through this filter and move some out to "future", ask for input for inclusion and try and resolve any that are already fixed. Next week I will make another pass and prune any that still are outstanding. So that we are clear for release on 1/29. If anyone feels that some other JIRA or patch needs to be done in 0.8.0 please give a shout and we can move it for inclusion. Thanks, --larry
