Atlas community,
A number of improvements and fixes have gone into master branch since branching for Apache Atlas 0.8.x releases earlier this year. I propose we do an alpha release in next few weeks; this will enable applications that integrate with Apache Atlas to review the changes and update. Here are the highlights for this release: More than 300 commits have gone in since branching for Apache Atlas 0.8 release. Notable features, improvements: - ATLAS-1852, ATLAS-1892: addition of relationship as a type to Apache Atlas type system - ATLAS-1757, ATLAS-2264: support for JanusGraph 0.2.0, to replace use of Titan - ATLAS-2229: replaced Scala based DSL implementation with use of ANTLR - ATLAS-1839: models for Glossary (Area 3) Breaking changes: - ATLAS-2251: removed library atlas-typesystem.jar. This functionality is replaced by type system implementation in atlas-intg.jar - updated atlas-notification.jar, atlas-client-v1.jar, Atlas hooks to replace use of atlas-typesystem.jar classes with equivalent classes in atlas-intg.jar - ATLAS-2265, ATLAS-2292: updated Jackson library from 1.9.13 to 2.9.2 - AtlasClient methods updated to replace use of JSONObject, JSONArray with JsonNode, ArrayNode - ATLAS-1757, ATLAS-2264: with JanusGraph 0.2.0 replacing Titan-0.5.4 as the graph database, existing deployments need to migrate the data - ATLAS-2216, ATLAS-2217: removed tech-preview implementation of taxonomy/catalog - this will be replaced by Glossary feature in a later release Works in Progress: - Open Metadata Framework components: Open Connector Framework, Open Metadata Repository Services, Open Metadata Access Services Regards, Madhan
