Hello Metron'ers - I would like to make the case that it is time for us to cut the next Apache Metron release.
- Our last release was 0.7.1 on May 15th <https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/e2e532cbb63be757d0875718b082c069a268f57a9087510f196be09b%40%3Cdev.metron.apache.org%3E>. It has been *~6 months* since this release. - We have *102 changes* in master since the last release. This figure excludes the two feature branches currently undergoing active development. - We should cut a release *prior to merging in any other significant changes* from either feature branch. The two active feature branches include ~47 other changes at this point in time. - These 102 changes include some very nice *bug fixes and usability improvements*. I would propose that we treat this as a bug-fix release and label it as *Metron 0.7.2*. Please let me know if you agree or disagree with this call for a release. For those interested, here are the 102 unreleased changes in master.
