hi folks, We just fixed a bug (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1601) causing some crashes for users. There is another bug fix ARROW-1606 impacting thirdparty builds / packaging. Based on these, I would like to cut a release candidate for a 0.7.1 minor release later today and start a vote.
There have been a couple of minor new features merged since 0.7.0, but the rest of the patches have been bug fixes. If there are no objections, I will base the RC on master rather than preparing a backports branch. Thanks Wes
