Hi all, As you might recall from a prior discussion about release cadence, we were interested in initiating release threads near our board reports to see if we wanted to do releases or not. Additionally, the work is done to do two separate releases, so our options are releasing both, a single one, or neither.
Having said that, a metron-bro-kafka-plugin 0.3.0 release came up on this thread <https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/3c18c3aba6b436b11032831e7db541d50eb7cb1e3ae54b7423057c88@%3Cdev.metron.apache.org%3E>. In particular, the prospect of a release came up in the context of having a version with better (and working) testing. Version Number If we choose to do a core Metron release, I propose 0.6.1. For metron-bro-kafka-plugin, I propose 0.3.0. Keep in mind, the versioning for the plugin is a bit different in that we need x.y for bro-pkg, instead of x.y.z, so we wouldn't release 0.2.1. I would personally be in favor of doing a plugin release, but I'm less inclined to do a core Metron release. For Metron, I believe the main feature is the batch profiler work, but there's a fair amount of fixes and improvements. For the plugin, I believe the main improvements would be around the fixing our testing and more maintenance type work. JIRA status *metron* There are 24 opens PRs at https://github.com/apache/metron/pulls. If we do decide to release, we should work on getting anything meriting inclusion closed out. There have been 49 commits since the 0.6.0 release (listed at the end of the message). This assumes a release from master. *metron-bro-kafka-plugin* There are 6 open PRs at https://github.com/apache/metron-bro-plugin-kafka/pulls. If we do decide to release, we should get anything we need closed out. There have been 2 commits since the 0.2.0 release (listed at the end of the message). This assumes a release from master. *Metron changelog* METRON-1801 Allow Customization of Elasticsearch Document ID (nickwallen) closes apache/metron#1218 METRON-1799 Remove outdated bylaws from site.
