> release from main and don't maintain stable branch Yes this is the primary motivation, we aren't setting out to cut frequent breaking releases :sweat_smile: . FWIW most breaking changes are fairly innocuous, e.g. adding Send bounds to a trait object, or returning Result instead of panicking, however, semver doesn't really give us a good way to convey this nuance. Whilst we could defer these upgrades, even the current two week lag to get changes into DataFusion causes people frustration. > Do you have any idea about a timeline? > Maybe we can just be more conservative about breaking changes I don't have a timeline, but the pace of breaking changes is noticeably slowing down. There are some breaking changes in the pipeline concerning scalar representation #1047 but I hope that following that we will be in a better place to maintain API stability. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
