Rangers,
Now that we have +1s from a number of Rangers, we can get started on Apache
Ranger 2.1.0 release.
I volunteer to be the release-manager for this release and propose the
following timeline:
Aug-04, Tue: create ranger-2.1 branch from master
Aug-11, Tue: ranger-2.1 branch goes into lockdown mode to prepare for 2.1.0
release
Aug-18, Tue: release-candidate out for vote
Aug-24, Mon: release 2.1.0
During lockdown period, only commits for release-blocker issues must be merged
in ranger-2.1 branch. Master branch will remain open for all commits.
Please review and let me know your comments/suggestions.
Thanks,
Madhan
