Hello Apache DataSketches PMC and Community,

This is a call for vote to release Apache DataSketches-cpp candidate
version 5.0.0-rc1


This is a major reseate due to separation of Python part of the library
into its own repository datasketches-python, which can potentially be
API-breaking for somebody.

We also took this opportunity to do some other possibly API-breaking
cleanup.


Changes since datasketches-cpp 4.1.0 release (3 May 2023):

    - moved all Python-related code to new datasketches-python repository

    - finished moving public constants to separate namespaces

    - removed deprecated methods (such as get_quantiles())

    - generalized array_of_doubles sketch as array_tuple_sketch

    - implemented new EB-PPS sketch (exact PPS sampling with bounded sample
size)

    - fixed slowness in Theta intersection

    - fixed incompatibility of serialized empty frequent items sketches
with Java
