Hello Apache DataSketches PMC and Community,
1. This is a call for vote to release Apache DataSketches-memory candidate
version: 3.0.0-RC1
This is a transitional release that supports Java 8 and 11. However, the
goal of this release is to migrate the API to what it will be in release
4.0.0. The 4.0.0 release will require Java 17 and will utilize the Project
Panama (FFM) capabilities introduced in Java 17.
Some of the capabilities of releases [2.0.0, 3.0.0) have been removed
because they cannot be supported in release 4.0.0 with Panama-17. For
example:
- The ability to directly import and export UTF-8 encoded strings has
been removed.
- The UTF-8 code in Memory 1.0.0 through 2.2.1 is out of date and
needs to be removed anyway.
- Java already has built-in UTF-8 encoding.
- The ability to directly import and export boolean arrays has been
removed.
- The Java Language Specification does not define the byte storage
format for boolean arrays, thus Panama-17 doesn't support boolean arrays.
- Other minor changes to the API are best understood by examining the
Javadocs directly.
Release 3.0.0 includes two bug fixes (Issues #194, #195).
It is our expectation that this set of releases will be the last that
support Java 8 and 11.
