Dear Ignite Community! I suggest starting Apache Ignite 2.17 release activities.
We've resolved hundreds of issues [1] with new features and bug fixes which are waiting for their release date. For example: - Transaction aware SQL queries (IEP-125); - SQL Calcite: Updated Calcite version and a lot of useful fixes; - Custom metrics introduction (IEP-114); - Removed MVCC; etc. A few more important tickets in a high state of readiness: - ApplicationContext API (IEP-129); - Use IgniteClient instead of GridClient in the control.sh utility (IEP-81 Phase 3); etc. I want to propose myself to be the release manager of the planning release. I propose the following timeline: Scope Freeze: November 25, 2024 Code Freeze: December 2, 2024 Voting Date: December 9, 2024 Release Date: December 16, 2024 WDYT?
