Hi NiFi dev community, We just released NiFi 1.10 and that's an amazing release with a LOT of great new features. Congrats to everyone!
I wanted to take this opportunity to bring a discussion around how often we're doing releases. We released 1.10.0 yesterday and we released 1.9.0 in February, that's around 8 months between the two releases. And if we take 1.9.2, released early April, that's about 7 months. I acknowledge that doing releases is really up to the committers and anyone can take the lead to perform this process, however, we often have people asking (on the mailing lists or somewhere else) about when will the next release be. I'm wondering if it would make sense to think about something a bit more "planned" by doing time based releases. The Apache Kafka community wrote a nice summary of the pros/cons about such an approach [1] and it definitely adds more work to the committers with more frequent releases. I do, however, think that it'd ease the adoption of NiFi, its deployment and the dynamism in PR/code review. I'm just throwing the idea here and I'm genuinely curious about what you think about this approach. [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Time+Based+Release+Plan Thanks, Pierre
