Hey team, Small heads up regarding the progress of the 4.0.0-beta-1 release.
Most of the release steps went out smoothly and I was able to get an RC0 ready [1]. However, I am afraid that our binary distribution does not comply fully with the ASF Policy [2]. We bundle a lot of dependencies (jars) within and I am not sure if we are fully covered in terms of licenses and notice files. Thanks Ayush for reminding me to check the binary-package-licenses directory [5]. I am checking various resources such as [3, 4] to see what additional steps we can take to be on the safe side and also looking for ways to automate this so that we don't have to manually inspect the jars on every release. I was playing a bit with license-maven-plugin [6] but I am not yet completely happy with its output. The next few days will be a bit busy so most likely I will get back on this during the weekend. If people have feedback or other ideas to share please let me know.
