Hi All, Please vote on releasing the following candidate as Apache Metamodel version 4.3.6.
Before the technical let me add a few motivations for doing the release at this time: * Alberto has a patch ready (PR on GitHub) which changes FunctionType to be an interface instead of an enum. This will enable us to support scalar functions in the future. But on the short term it breaks drop-in backwards compatibility. Because of this we did NOT merge the patch yet, but we wish to do so and then go for a version 4.4.x going forward. * We decided to soon stop Java 6 support. This would be the last Java 6 compatible release, and so this is also a good time to bump to version 4.4. * Of course, many nice improvements done, see CHANGES.md The Git tag to be voted on is MetaModel-4.3.6: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=metamodel.git;a=commit;h=f4d6de53803a47e6b6ad67f8043c073da3b5fbff The source artifact to be voted on is: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachemetamodel-1010/org/apache/metamodel/MetaModel/4.3.6/MetaModel-4.3.6-source-release.zip Parent directory (including MD5, SHA1 hashes etc.) of the source is: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachemetamodel-1010/org/apache/metamodel/MetaModel/4.3.6/ Release artifacts are signed with the following key: https://people.apache.org/keys/committer/kaspersor.asc Release engineer public key id: 1FE1C2F5 The staging Maven repository for this release can be found at: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachemetamodel-1010 Please vote on releasing this package as Apache MetaModel 4.3.6.
