Ranger community,
The community has added 40+ commits since the release of Apache Ranger 2.6.0 in February this year. I propose we start preparing for Apache Ranger 2.7.0 to include these updates, by mid of July 2025. Git branch ranger-2.7 will be used for this release. If you would like any improvement or fix to be included in this release, please ensure the fix-version is set to 2.7.0 in JIRA. Here are few key improvements: - fix for error while writing audit logs to HDFS - add config param for writing audits to HDFS in append mode - API to delete multiple policies - fix policy label processing in concurrent sessions - fix for script engine instantiation failure - fix failure in deleting records from x_auth_sess table - fix failure in allowing by tags associated with parent resource - retry GET request on server error in RangerRESTClient - fix potential NPE in references to RangerBasePlugin.policyEngine - fix error while migrating Masterkey from older format to external key store - tag deny policy is not getting enforced on scan table command for hbase - refactor agents-audit module to move audit destination implementations to separate projects - dedupTags removes the valid tags while deduplicating tags - updated plugin classloader to use classloader of shim class as parent - docker setup improvements Apache Ranger PMC would appreciate your contributions and feedback in getting 2.7.0 release out. Thanks, Madhan
