Hi, All. Happy New Year!
In 2021, Apache ORC community released 10 versions (including 1.5.13 EOL) successfully. Thank you for all your contributions again! https://orc.apache.org/docs/releases.html#all-releases In 2022, we have the following release plan to improve the visibility and collaboration of the Apache ORC releases for all active branches. https://github.com/apache/orc/milestones?state=open 2022-01-15 1.6.13 (0 open, 1 closed) 2022-02-15 1.7.3 (0 open, 6 closed) 2022-09-15 1.8.0 (3 open, 30 closed) In addition, there are two changes in the GitHub Action Infra in this month. First, we added a 'Stale' GitHub Action job to get automated help in order to manage the stale PRs. https://github.com/apache/orc/actions/workflows/stale.yml Second, we replaced AppVeyor's Window test coverage with GitHub Action runner in order to reduce our maintenance complexibility. Currently, we completed our part and have been waiting for the removal of webhook from ASF INFRA team. ORC-875 Add GitHub Action job for Windows Server 2019 ORC-1073 Remove appveyor.yml INFRA-22692 Remove AppVeyor integration For the January ORC Board Report, I'll make and share a draft this week because the due date is 12nd January. Thanks, Dongjoon.
