Hi Livy team,

Congratulations on the graduation! I am very glad to hear the project has
reached this important milestone.

As the project moves forward, I would like to learn more about the plan for
announcing updates to ensure that users and distributors are prompted to
evaluate new versions and update any version pinning. Specifically, I want
to ensure that:

- There are primary and archive release notes pages.
- The release process includes updating the primary release notes page.
- Known users and distributors are proactively informed when new versions
are released.

I believe registering new versions with Dependabot would likely be
sufficient to meet these needs.

It has been several years since I last updated the Livy initialization
action. I will make a point to publish an update to use the latest release:
https://github.com/GoogleCloudDataproc/initialization-actions/tree/main/livy

I look forward to hearing about the plan.

Best regards,

C.J. Collier
