As both 692 & 687 are already resolved we should less focus on those particular bugs, but in release policies in general. IMO only the following issues should stop the release:

1. Apache license issues
     * source code is not properly licensed. It is quite unlikely as
       for known file types, we have check in place. Problem may be
       with new types not covered by the build)
     * usage of Category X license dependencies
2. Backward compatibility issues
     * Existing API is covered by semantic versioning, but it may not
       be sufficient
     * New API introduced that is not marked as Evolving.
     * Regression in existing functionality
3. Security vulnerabilities
4. JIRAs marked as Blocker (likely to fall into 3 previous categories
   anyway, but possibly some critical bugs may fall into this category
   as well)

Everything else is a nice to have and should be included into a release if a PR is ready and PR review is complete. It equally applies to bug fixes, new feature implementations and documentation issues. The apex.apache.org web site update is outside of the release cycle and can be done independently of a release.

Thank you,

Vlad

Vlad,

Here is my thought process about these tickets.  Both 692 (Apex dev setup
sandbox section to reference Apex website downloads page) and 687 (update
supported Hadoop v2.6 in Apex docs) are Apex documentation issues, and so
they are part of the Apex release process.  Furthermore, 692 directly
references 693 (update Apex website downloads page with cleaned up and
augmented list of 3rd party binaries), so it makes sense to have 693
updated as well, though of course I agree that it is not a part of Apex
core release nor a blocker for the release.

Thanks,
Dean

Dean,

692 and 693 are web site documentation issues and are not part of the Apex
core 3.6.0 release. 687 can be covered in the release README (known issues).

Thank you,

Vlad

Hi,
It has been four month since 3.5.0 Apex Core release. There are several

new

features added to core after 3.5.0. I would like to propose the 3.6.0
release of Apex Core, to make these features available to users.

The list of issues fixed in 3.6.0 are:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%
3D%20APEXCORE%20AND%20status%20in%20(Resolved%2C%20Closed)%
20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%203.6.0%20ORDER%20BY%20status%20ASC

Apart from above JIRAs, which bug-fixes/features people will like to

see
in

this release. If you feel your JIRA should be included then please set

fix

version to 3.6.0 with estimated time for work completion, also discuss

it
here. Some of the pending pull requests could be incorporated in the
release. I feel following JIRA should be part of release APEXCORE-649,
APEXCORE-678.

Let me know about your thoughts.

Thanks,
Tushar.
