There were still some open items for 1.4 and we got Spark 3.5 support in. It will not delay the release.
We have an agreement to release each 3-4 months, except cases when major features can be delivered that pose interest to at least one group in the community. That's why I asked whether folks were looking forward to specific features and needed them ASAP. We released 1.3 in June or late May and targeting to deliver 1.4 by the end of September. It is a bit behind the original plan, sorry about that. Is there a need to change the release strategy? Let me know what everybody thinks. - Anton On 2023/09/14 09:51:44 Renjie Liu wrote: > BTW, spark 3.5 released: > https://spark.apache.org/releases/spark-release-3-5-0.html > > From: Renjie Liu <liurenjie2...@gmail.com> > Date: Thursday, September 14, 2023 at 10:03 > To: dev@iceberg.apache.org <dev@iceberg.apache.org>, > aokolnyc...@apple.com.invalid <aokolnyc...@apple.com.invalid> > Cc: Iceberg Dev List <dev@iceberg.apache.org> > Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Include Spark 3.5 support in 1.4? > +1 for having a regular release pace clearly defined.
