+1 for a release "real soon now". As for what we need to fix before that release, there are a number of outstanding tickets related to the new warning mechanism about ignored properties.
We really shouldn't roll forward with these unresolved issues. Is there a switch or small change we can make to disable this mechanism (or have it off by default) without rolling back the actual commit(s)? I do expect these ignored property warnings will help users isolate schema bugs, some of which are undetected in current schemas. It's an important feature for us to have. But the open tickets indicate it isn't correct nor complete yet. There is so much other good stuff on the main branch that I think it is well worth creating 3.10.0 without the ignored property warnings feature. See: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2875 - shows that shared groups and type definitions in the schema compiler defeat the current algorithm for detecting unused properties. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2964 - we get too many warnings from the regression suite - likely indicates we're getting false warnings? (could be same issue as DAFFODIL-2875, or something else.) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2798 - ignored property detector doesn't detect enumeration facet unused properties.
