Hello Drillers, It's about 6 months have passed since the previous release and its time to discuss and start planning for the 1.17.0. I volunteer to manage the new release.
We have 6 Jira tickets with "reviewable" status, 2 "in progress" and 6 open tickets [1]. Jira tickets marked as ready to commit will be merged soon and I hope other PRs from this list will be completed before the cut-off date. Among these tickets, I want to include DRILL-7273 [2] to the release (pull request is already opened, but CR comments should be addressed). I would like to propose a preliminary release cut-off date as the middle of the next week (Nov, 13) or the beginning of the week after that (Nov, 18). Please let me know if there are any other Jira tickets you working on which should be included in this release.
