Suraj, Is there any way that we could look at picking up PR 217<https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/217> which fixes AVRO-766<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-766> & AVRO-1167<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1167>? These are long outstanding memory leak issues in the C implementation.

Hi Javier, I made the last two tags so i can give you some context. The RC2 and RC3 failed for license issues in java and versioning in JS. I have fixed both of those. However, in the days after I started a couple of people wanted a few code pieces merged. I had stopped that since I was working on a release and that would cause continuous churn. I am giving people time to merge any code in before I start back. I intend to make another release in the next few days. I can say I will try to make sure it is not paused. Regarding when will this be released. I can't give you a definite date. I try to make an hour or so a day for open source work and sometimes I am not able to do the same. Also, it needs community help to pass an RC too. All I can say is soon. Hope that helps.

We are even considering compiling and uploading Avro 1.8.2 into our own Artifactory. Obviously it would be much better if we could just pull from public Maven repos, as usual. When are you planning to release this version? The Github tags suggest there was an attempt months ago and a few more two weeks ago. Is this really imminent or are there chances that it will be paused like it happened in November? Thanks. Javier.
