All - I've noted that the majority of the open JIRA items for 0.8.0 have been resolved. There are a couple that I have moved out to 0.9.0 and a couple still waiting for responses that may be moved out unless they are considered blockers.
At this point, we are looking ~35 total JIRAs in this release: Full List: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIVY-975?jql=project%20%3D%20LIVY%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%200.8.0 With a handful of process and doc related items remaining: Remaining: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIVY-969?jql=project%20%3D%20LIVY%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%200.8.0%20AND%20status%20in%20(Open%2C%20Reopened) We've addressed a number of dependency CVEs but have a ways to go to get rid of all of the Critical and High severity items. This will need to continue into 0.9.0 and beyond (as they just keep on coming). I'd like to target getting a release candidate for 0.8.0 by the end of next week. If someone would like to step up as Release Manager for this release please feel free to say so. Thoughts, concerns(, jokes)? thanks, --larry
