Hi all, It's been a really long time, and I'd like to call a vote to release Apache DataFu 1.7.0. This release is different from previous ones because I would like to 1) only release datafu-spark (there are no changes in the other modules) and 2) would like to also, assuming this release is approved, also release artifacts for Scala 2.12. I'm not sure how to do this in one step in the Nexus staging area, so we'll do it one at a time, starting with 2.11.
For a summary of the changes in this release, see: https://github.com/apache/datafu/blob/release-1.7.0-rc0/changes.md For reference, here is a list of all closed JIRAs tagged with 1.6.1: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DATAFU-170?jql=project%20%3D%20DATAFU%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Fixed%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%201.7.0%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC%2C%20updated%20DESC The source release candidate RC0 can be downloaded here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/datafu/apache-datafu-1.7.0-rc0/ The artifacts (i.e. JARs) corresponding to this release candidate can be found here: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachedatafu-1013 Instructions for how to build against the artifacts in the staging repository can be found in the RELEASE instructions ( https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=datafu.git;a=blob_plain;f=RELEASE.md;hb=HEAD < https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=datafu.git;a=blob_plain;f=README.md;hb=HEAD > ). Files have been signed with PGP key F4035CD23568D1D89F2CB69D4367FFCB3770D9C3, corresponding to e...@apache.org, which is included in the repository's KEYS file. This key can be found on keyservers (e.g. gpg --keyserver keys.openpgp.org --search-key F4035CD23568D1D89F2CB69D4367FFCB3770D9C3). Instructions for how to verify checksums and signatures can be found in the README ( https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=datafu.git;a=blob_plain;f=README.md;hb=HEAD ). The release candidate has been tagged with release-1.7.0-rc0, which has been signed with the same key. I've also created a branch 1.7.0. Please download the release candidate, check the hashes, check the signatures, test it, and vote. The vote will be open for 72 hours (ends on January 18th at 11 pm GMT+3). [ ] +1 approve [ ] +0 no opinion [ ] -1 disapprove (and reason why) My vote: +1 Thanks, Eyal Allweil
