Hi Igor, Correct. The whole point of 3.9 is to complete KIP-853. We had many email threads on this :)
As release manager I have discretion to delay the release until this is complete. And I will do that. But I do not think the delay will be more than a few days, based on what we're looking at now. If you have a feature that you've been waiting for 4.0 for, then you are unblocked. Please feel free to add it to trunk. best, Colin On Tue, Jul 30, 2024, at 14:13, Igor Soarez wrote: > My understanding was that the reason for the shorter cycle > to the 3.9 release was based on the assumption that KIP-1012 > would be ready soon, so we could get to 4.0 quicker. > > If we can't move to 4.0 sooner, what's to gain with an early 3.9? > > -- > Igor
