Hi Sentry community, we’ve accumulated a gigantic number of changes - total of 145 [1] JIRAs has been resolved since our last release. We’ve added two new important features - standalone Sentry service and Grant/Revoke capability. Hence I believe that it’s the right time to do publish the changes to the public by release version 1.4.0.
Having said that I would like to propose slight change to our usual release process. Instead of one committer/PMC member driving entire release, I would like to propose to appoint one committer/PMC as a “Release Mentor” that will guide a volunteer from the community that will drive the release himself. This will be a great opportunity for the volunteer to learn about Apache and significantly contribute towards the project itself. We’ve been using this model in Sqoop project for last 2 years and it has been very successfull. Thoughts? Jarcec Links: 1: http://s.apache.org/zqW
