Yes, please. I think that build stability in general are a big problem. And OOM issues specifically seem to be against AsterixDBs goal of not falling over when memory gets tight. So we probably should not release, if that’s something that everybody has a high chance of running into on first try. > - Metadata name changes and Metadata caching consistency fixes are > underway by Ildar. > > - The repackaging and license checker patches still need to be merged > in, but this should happen after the above two features are merged. > They are otherwise ready for review though. > > - Now that Feeds is merged, the Apache website should be changed to > the new version that has been in draft form for a few weeks now. > Before it may have been a little premature, but now it should be > accurate.

Actually, I think that we should find a better way to merge the documentation and the website as they both are based on markdown and so it should be feasible to use the same translation to HTML for both. I’m not sure how much work that is and if that’s a option for the release, but I think that it would be good if we could agree that that’s the goal. Cheers, Till
