I think the rotation is working out alright except that it's a challenging sticking to a time-based schedule.
As far as the release notes, you're correct that I generated these from the commit log. I actually intentionally stripped out the names since at the time they felt like noise. I'll acknowledge now that I think that was a poor decision. It wasn't done with the desire for people not be recognized as Calcite certainly wouldn't be where it is without these contributions. I'll happily retroactively update these to add back the names in the next day or two. A big thank you to all who contributed to the release especially those who are not currently committers and do not have much acknowledgement right now :) -- Michael Mior [email protected] Le lun. 24 juin 2019 à 14:10, Julian Hyde <[email protected]> a écrit : > > Just back for vacation... and it’s great to see a shiny new release.
