Team, In the spirit of shooting for roughly 6 week release cycles and the releasing timing of NiFi 0.4.0/0.4.1 I suggest we shoot for Feb 5th, 2016 as our release vote start date target. This should mean we're not altering code past say 1 Feb, 2016 other than for findings that crop up with the testing/RC.
The JIRA entries for Apache NiFi 0.5.0 can be quickly found here https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1333?jql=fixVersion%20%3D%200.5.0%20AND%20project%20%3D%20NIFI There are some really great features/fixes there already including but not limited to: NiFi kerberos support: NIFI-1274 Improved encryption handling: NIFI-1324,1314,1259, Improved Hive/Kite interaction: NIFI-1193 UX/UI improvements: NIFI-951 Interactive Queue Management: NIFI-108 Support for numerous scripting/languages: NIFI-210 Support for state management: NIFI-259 If anyone on the pmc is interested to do the RC work for the release just holler. If not I'm happy to do it. Thanks Joe
