Hi Yuepeng, Thank you for driving this forward. As you mentioned, it is indeed necessary to release a formal version after the streampark project's official graduation from Apache. Currently, the dev-2.1.6 branch is ready for release, and I'd like to clarify the differences between the dev branch and the dev-2.1.6 branch:
The dev-2.1.x series is based on continuous iterations of version 2.1.0, having progressed from 2.1.0 up to 2.1.5. This series will not involve major architectural changes and primarily focuses on bug fixes and stability improvements, making it a relatively stable release. The dev branch is our current main development branch, where the code has diverged significantly from the 2.1.x series. We have added many new features to this branch, such as support for PyFlink, Spark, etc., some of which may include breaking changes. There is still substantial work remaining for this version, and we tentatively plan to complete its release within the next two months. I’ve now clarified the differences between these two branches. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out anytime. Regarding the release of version 2.1.6, I fully support it. It would be excellent if you’re willing to serve as the Release Manager for this release!
