Hello Kudu developers! It's been a bit more than three months since we released 1.11.1. In that time, we've accrued some important improvements and bug fixes (around 438 commits since Kudu 1.11.0). By our usual three-month release cadence, now seems like as good a time as any to start thinking about a Kudu 1.12.0 release, and I'm volunteering to RM it.
I'm proposing we cut the branch for 1.12.x on Wednesday, *March 18*, which gives us a week to prepare, and then we'll start a vote a couple of days after that. If this sound good to you all, please start thinking about and writing up release notes for notable changes that have landed in this release, and get them checked in before March 18 2020. Here's a command you can run to check out roughly what you've been up to since Kudu 1.11.0 release: $ git log 08db97c591d9131cbef9b8e5b4f44a6e854c25f0..master --oneline \ --graph --no-merges --first-parent --author=<your email address> Please let me know if you agree with this plan, have comments, questions, concerns, etc. Thanks! Hao
