Hi, All. Since Apache ORC Format 1.0.0 was released last week, we can start Apache ORC 2.0.0.
https://github.com/apache/orc/milestone/20 (January 19, 2024) I volunteer as the release manager of Apache ORC 2.0.0 and start to prepare the release. As the first step, `branch-2.0` is created as a soft feature freeze which means - `main` branch becomes 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT (ORC-1573) - `branch-2.0` becomes 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT - the members of Apache ORC PMC can still backport new features to `branch-2.0`. https://github.com/apache/orc/tree/branch-2.0 Please test branch-2.0 and let me know any bugs or late arrival features if you want to include into Apache ORC 2.0.0 still. Thanks, Dongjoon.
