And if i suggest simplest way for us to set quality expectation to user, which will be labeling release in download page.Currently releases are divided into 2 categories in download page. 'Latest release' and 'Old releases'. I think we can treat 'Latest' as unstable and add one more category 'Stable release'.For example, once 0.8.0 is released,Latest release : 0.8.0Stable release : 0.7.1Old release : 0.6.2, 0.6.1 ....Once we feel confident about the stability of latest release, we can just change label from latest to stable in the download page. (and previous stable goes to old releases)We can even include formal vote for moving release from 'latest' to 'stable' in our release process, if it is necessary.Thanks,moonOn Tue, Mar 21, 2017 at 6:59 AM moon soo Lee <m...@apache.org> wrote:Yes, having longer RC period will help.But if i recall 0.7.0 release, although 21 people participated verifying through 4 RC for 15days, it wasn't enough to catch all critical problems during the release process. After the release, we've got much more number of bug reports, in next few days.Basically, verifying RC is limited to people who subscribe mailing list + willing to contribute time to verify RC, which is much smaller number of people who download release from download page. So having longer RC period will definitely help and i think we should do, but I think it's still not enough to make sure the quality, considering past history.AFAIK, releasing 0.8.0-preview, calling it unstable is up to the project. ASF release process defines how to release source code, but it does not really restrict what kind of 'version' the project should have releases. For example, spark released spark-2.0.0-preview[1] before spark-2.0.0.Thanks,moonOn Mon, Mar 20, 2017 at 11:31 PM Jongyoul Lee <jongy...@gmail.com> wrote:I agree that it will help prolong RC period and use it actually.

I'm not sure if releasing as preview or calling it unstable fits with the ASF release process though.
Other projects have code freeze, RC (and longer RC iteration time) etc. - do we think those will help improve quality when the release is finally cut?

Strongly +1 for adding system test for different interpreter modes and focus on bug fixing than new features. I do heard from some users complain about the bugs of zeppelin major release. A stabilized release is very necessary for community.
Best Regard,

Subject: Re: Roadmap for 0.8.0
Great to see discussion for 0.8.0.
List of features for 0.8.0 looks really good.
Interpreter factory refactoring
Interpreter layer supports various behavior depends on combination of PerNote,PerUser / Shared,Scoped,Isolated. We'll need strong test cases for each combination as a first step.
Otherwise, any pullrequest will silently break one of behavior at any time no matter we refactor or not. And fixing and testing this behavior is so hard.
Once we have complete test cases, not only guarantee the behavior but also make refactoring much easier.
0.8.0 release
I'd like to suggest improvements on how we release a new version.
In the past, 0.6.0 and 0.7.0 release with some critical problems. (took 3 months to stabilize 0.6 and we're working on stabilizing 0.7.0 for 2 months)
I think the same thing will happen again with 0.8.0, while we're going to make lots of changes and add many new features.
After we released 0.8.0, while 'Stabilizing' the new release, user who tried the new release may get wrong impression of the quality. Which is very bad and we already repeated the mistake in 0.6.0 and 0.7.0.
So from 0.8.0 release, I'd suggest we improve way we release new version to give user proper expectation. I think there're several ways of doing it.
1. Release 0.8.0-preview officially and then release 0.8.0.
2. Release 0.8.0 with 'beta' or 'unstable' label. And keep 0.7.x as a 'stable' release in the download page. Once 0.8.x release becomes stable enough make 0.8.x release as a 'stable' and move 0.7.x to 'old' releases.
After 0.8.0,
Since Zeppelin projects starts, project went through some major milestone, like
- project gets first users and first contributor
- project went into Apache Incubator
- project became TLP.
And I think it's time to think about hitting another major milestone.
Considering features we already have, features we're planning on 0.8, wide adoption of Zeppelin in the industry, I think it's time to focus on make project more mature and make a 1.0 release. Which i think big milestone for the project.
After 0.8.0 release, I suggest we more focus on bug fixes, stability improvement, optimizing user experience than adding new features. And with subsequent minor release, 0.8.1, 0.8.2 ... moment we feel confident about the quality, release it as a 1.0.0 instead of 0.8.x.
Once we have 1.0.0 released, then I think we can make larger, experimental changes on 2.0.0 branch aggressively, while we keep maintaining 1.0.x branch.
Thanks,
moon
There are several pending visualization improvements/PRs that would be very good to get them in as well.

Subject: Roadmap for 0.8.0
Hi dev & users,
Recently, community submits very new features for Apache Zeppelin. I think it's very positive signals to improve Apache Zeppelin and its community. But in another aspect, we should focus on what the next release includes. I think we need to summarize and prioritize them. Here is what I know:
* Cluster management
* Admin feature
* Replace some context to separate users
* Helium online
Feel free to talk if you want to add more things. I think we need to choose which features will be included in 0.8.0, too.
Regards,
Jongyoul Lee
