Team, As we work toward an 0.4.0 release here are the current highlights I've captured from the current and resolved tickets. I might have missed key points but these seem (to me) like the major points:
Version 0.4.0 Highlights of the 0.4.0 release include: - Added proper support for tailing log files. - Updated the framework/UX to support new authentication mechanisms based on username/password - New processor to support Python/Jython scripts as processors. - New processors to capture syslog data received via UDP/TCP - Improved behavior of Execute and Put SQL processors - Provided documentation to help the 'Getting Started' process - Improved efficiency and file handling for merges/sessions dealing with 1000s of objects - New processors to List and Fetch data via SFTP - Improved Kerberos ticket re-registration for HDFS processors - Added processors to interact with Couchbase - Increased convenience when searching for provenance events of a given component - Added SSL support to JMS processors Now, we have many outstanding tickets still assigned to 0.4.0 which are unresolved. I reassigned many but still many remain. Please do a scan through if you reported them and see which ones can be moved off of 040. We released 0.3.0 on Sep 19th. I suggest we try to target Nov 19th then for 0.4.0. There is already quite a lot in this and so I think we should get very specific about the items remaining which really must be in 040 vs which we can push forward. I'll keep pairing down the tickets on 040 and pinging folks to understand likely target dates for completion.
