Hi, devs: Since Pegasus 2.4.0 was released in Oct. 2022, some useful features have been added, such as supporting access control based on Apache Ranger, implementing new address format for FQDN, and providing query service for metrics.
In addition, some bugs have been fixed since then. For example, once a replica was corrupted, it would fail again and again. Also, some subsystems have been refactored to make code more readable, such as logging, macro, configuration, idl and java client. Therefore, I think we should start preparing a new release 2.5.0. I would volunteer to be the release manager of this version. I wrote a draft note for the new release: https://github.com/apache/incubator-pegasus/issues/1584. Please take a look at it, and feel free to leave your comments (for example, you might want some pull-requests to be included in this release). This discussion will last for 72 hours (till 21:00 CST, 24 August 2023). If there are no questions about it, I will start the voting process. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks, Dan Wang
