Hey all, Just following up here with a bit of a status update, so in the past week or so, items in the 1.8 release milestone <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/milestone/50> have been closing out. I'm aiming to cut a release next Tuesday, Jan 28.
I'd like to reiterate that for any changes that don't make the 1.8 release, we can do a fast follow 1.9 release, and from the last community sync that seems to be the direction. In this particular case, the 1.8 release is a bit earlier than our typical release cadence and with the 1.9 being a fast follow on, I think we're well on track. Please add the proposed changes to the 1.9 milestone <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/milestone/53> so folks can review ahead of time! In general, I'd encourage more frequent releases, changes which are ready can just go out and with the smaller diff it reduces the risks that exist with larger updates.
