Happy New Year to the Apache ORC community! Thank you for everyone’s hard work—2025 was a strong year for the project, including these milestones: - Welcoming Shaoyun Chen to the PMC - Delivering 11 maintenance releases and 2 minor releases
Let’s carry this momentum into the new year, starting by completing the releases scheduled from last year: - 1.9.8 - 2.0.7 - 2.1.4 I plan to initiate the release process for all three versions within the next week. Please keep an eye out for the release and vote threads. Happy New Year again! Best Regards, William
