I thought x.x.# releases were just for fixups, x.#.x could include new features, and #.x.x were major releases that might have some backward-incompatible changes. But I guess we haven't agreed on that.
As for documentation, we still have 84 jiras with TODOC14 labels <https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20HIVE%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20TODOC14>. Not to mention 25 TODOC13 labels <https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20HIVE%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20TODOC13>, eleven TODOC12 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20HIVE%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20TODOC12>, seven TODOC11 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20HIVE%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20TODOC11>, and seven TODOC10 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20HIVE%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20TODOC10> . That's 134 doc tasks to finish for a Hive 1.0.0 release -- preferably by the release date, not after. Because expectations are higher for 1.0.0 releases. -- Lefty On Tue, Dec 30, 2014 at 5:23 PM, Vikram Dixit K <vikram.di...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Folks, > > Given that there have been a number of fixes that have gone into branch > 0.14 in the past 8 weeks, I would like to make a release of 0.14.1 soon.
