Hello, In my opinion, it would be great to release a version 1.11.1 -- there's been a lot going on in terms of new fixes and some new features that could be valuable, and minor releases help encourage adoption.
We've been a bit more rigorous in cherry-picking than the last few minor releases, so this could probably happen pretty quickly! Taking a look at the differences between the two branches, I don't think there's any reason to bump the major version. We didn't publish any Rust artifacts when we did the 1.11.0 release, so it's probably not a big deal about changing the crate name. I saw the work you did on reserving the apache-avro crate, good news! I don't have any strong opinion on whether we should publish the crate now, as it is, or only release the Rust source this time. There's a couple issues that are targeted for 1.11.1 in JIRA that have PRs open. I'll try to get some reviews in!
