Igniters, A number of major improvements have been made (or being finalized at the moment) to Ignite since recent 2.3 release. This includes baseline topology, new DDL commands, migration to Java 8 and Java 9 support, critical performance improvements to WAL, etc..
I think it makes sense to make a new release. What do you think if we release AI 2.4 with all this great stuff by the end of Jan? If there are no objections, I'll create a branch to start stabilization process. Vladimir.
