Hi folks, We are considering to cut the 1.7.0 release on Monday, August 13th since there are not many blocker or critical issues targeting 1.7.0: We currently have 1 blocker, 1 critical issue and 45 major issues on the 1.7.0 release dashboard <*https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=12333125 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=12333125>* >.
It's OK if we need to push the date back, but if anyone would like to land anything onto 1.7.0, please let Gaston or me know in advance and make them blocker issues and make sure they are targeting 1.7.0. If you're fine not landing the issues you're working on on 1.7.0, please remove it from your target version. Thanks for all your work!
