Hey everyone, It would be great to have an XTable release during July.
A non-ASF release does not require the blessing of the incubator PMC and must not be distributed via the ASF channels and infrastructure. I would be more inclined to go for an official ASF release using the "Work In Progress Disclaimer" [1]. It may take a few release candidate attempts till we sort things out but if we can afford a few weeks delay then this path forward may be more productive. I will do a pass over the proposed release guide later today although we don't have to wait till it's perfect. The best path forward is preparing the first release candidate and at the same time documenting the procedure and steps taken.
