In preparation for release 6.0.0 which should probably happen within the next 2-3 weeks according to the usual release cycle the Confluence page for the release has been created ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ARROW/Arrow+6.0.0+Release )
Also all non Bug issues that were not started have been moved to version 7.0.0, please do not create new issues under 6.0.0 unless you expect to be able to solve them within the next few days. Likewise, feel free to move back to version 6.0.0 things that you expect to be able to address within the next few days. That leaves the release with a total of ~60 bugs pending. It's probably unrealistic that those can be fixed in 2-3 weeks, so I encourage the owners of those issues to go through them and postpone them to version 7.0.0 unless they plan to address them soon. The remaining ones will be moved to version 7.0.0 before the release. Thanks everybody for the big effort in contributing to a release that includes nearly 500 issues and if you are aware of any blocker (apart those already marked as blockers in the Confluence page) please raise them early on so that there is enough time to address them.
