Thanks for bringing up this discussion, generally, I agree that we should have a short release cycle.
For the version number, I prefer to 0.12 instead of 1.0, because some interpreters relies on external systems were not fully tested with Java 11, I would like to give it more time to collect user feedbacks before enter 1.0. +1 for marking Java 8 deprecated in the next release, meanwhile, if someone is interested, we should also consider adding support for Java 17, to prepare support for Spark 4.0. I would also like to propose dropping support for Spark 3.2, and making Spark 3.5 as the default version. Currently, Zeppelin supports Spark 3.2 to 3.5. Spark 3.2 released at Oct 2021, was EOL at Apr 2023. Spark 3.3 released at Jun 2022, was EOL at Dec 2023. Spark 3.4 released at Apr 2023, will be EOL at Oct 2024. Spark 3.5 released at Aug 2024, it’s a LTS version. For users who want to use lower Spark versions, Livy and Kyuubi(for now, only supports Spark SQL via the JDBC interpreter) are alternatives.
