For visibility, I recently opened a new issue about a case of index corruption <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10159> which is a blocker for 9.0. Nhat is looking into it.
We've been discussing releasing 9.0 for a long time now and I think that everybody agrees with moving forward, there's even some good momentum around making the build and release tooling ready. So I'd like to propose the following timeline for the 9.0 release to get some feedback: 2021-11-01: Feature freeze: - branch_9x gets created from main - branch_8_11 gets created from branch_8x This gives us ~2 weeks to do some last-minute work. The reasoning for doing 8.11 as well is that we have some enhancements merged to branch_8x that I suspect some users would like to see released in 8.x. Important note: 8.11 will be the last minor release of major version 8. There might be new patch releases in the future such as 8.11.1 or 8.11.2, but there won't be a 8.12 or a 8.13. 2021-11-04: First RC for 8.11 Since we had 8.10 not long ago, hopefully the release process will go smoothly. ~2021-11-10: First RC for 9.0 The date is indicative, the plan would be to move forward with the first 9.0 RC as soon as the following conditions are met: - 8.11 is out - all 9.0 blockers have been addressed Mike, your previous email suggests that you would like someone else to step up. If that's correct I'm happy to be the release manager for both 8.11 and 9.0. On Sat, Oct 2, 2021 at 11:54 PM Michael Sokolov <msoko...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes!
