You can find it in the archives. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/avro-dev/ A major release is required for incompatible changes to the schema language. Thus 2.0 planning work must focus on determining a set of such changes. I think in most (if not all) cases one can implement equivalent features compatibly in the 1.0 branch at the cost of making schemas more verbose. So there's a tension between preserving compatibility and improving schema elegance, as the issue discussed in this thread illustrates. Further discussion of a 2.0 release should probably occur on that thread. Doug
