There are a number of great new features that are in trunk or about to be committed to trunk. I'm proposing that we do a 3.5.0 release in February, I volunteer to be the release manager.
As RM I plan to do 3.5.0 as an alpha release with an extended voting period. Perhaps 2 weeks rather than the standard 3 days. We'd then iterate rapidly on reported issues to transition to beta and finally stable releases. Similar to what we did with 3.4. Some pending features: 1) Need to finish up the dynamic reconfig support. 2) Facebook has contributed a number of scalability improvements. They are planning to add local sessions, I'd like to include that and any other features that they might provide in the timeframe. There are only 4 jiras marked as blockers for 3.5.0 currently. ZOOKEEPER-1551 looks the most serious. There are a number of patch available jiras that we've been whittling down, we'd try to include as many of those as can be completed in the timeframe. What do you think? Patrick
