Hi all, As we move into mid-July, I just want to refresh on the status of things in regards to the next set of releases.
It looks like we have a number of features and bug fix PRs open for review (feel free to add your reviews), and ready to be merged this week: - TinkerGraph Transaction: https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/2087 - String function concat(): https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/2099 - TINKERPOP-2957 allow cardinality to be specified for mergeV(): https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/2127 - TINKERPOP-2949 added PBiPredicate interface: https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/2134 - TINKERPOP-2967 Added untyped GraphSON 3.0: https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/2138 I think it would be good for us to call a code freeze at the end of this week on Friday. Any thoughts?
