I personally would vote for *(b) Contain new features as well as the removal of deprecated features *as otherwise, it does not feel like it is a major release to me.
A major release to me is where we add new features of significant values as we did with Airflow 2.0.0. This is also good in terms of marketing where blog posts and video posts (talks in conferences) can talk about *what's new in 3.0.0? *instead of 3.1 or 3.2 Regards, Kaxil On Mon, Mar 8, 2021 at 11:41 PM Kaxil Naik <kaxiln...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi all, > > As part of documenting all the guidelines including (PR here > <https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/14674>) but not limited to > Release, I would like to start the discussion on one of the things that was > recently discussed: > > *What should the major version like 3.0.0 / 4.0.0 contain?* > a) Only removal of deprecated features to ease the migration for users > b) Contain new features as well as removal of deprecated features > > Also Note: from Airflow 2.0.0, we intend to follow SemVer ( > https://semver.org/) > > Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts. > > Regards, > Kaxil > > >
