Hi all, in the past it seems that we've tried to release a new minor version every six months or so. That would mean that we're approaching a good time to start the release process for OpenRefine 3.10 (while 3.9 was only released in February, 3.8 was released last April, so we'd average out to every 6 months).
As for the release process, my impression is that this new minor version should include everything in the master branch at the time the beta release is created. Unless an objection is raised, I'll plan to create a beta release next week for users to test with.
Hi all, just a quick update: I pushed back releasing a beta version to later this week as I try to wrap up some remaining pull request reviews. I'll try to have everything ready by Friday so I can do the release during office hours!
Hi folks, since there's no rush to release 3.10, I'd like to propose pushing back the beta another week or two to let conversations around existing pull requests resolve. In addition to the aforementioned pull request about recipe visualization, there's also an open pull request for drag and drop column reordering. If anyone has features that they are eagerly awaiting, we can cut a point release in the meantime.
I'm trying to work through pull requests in preparation for releasing a 3.10 beta. In addition to the issue @abbe98 mentioned above, I'd at least like to get fix storeBlankColumns: delete only after project parsed by smierz · Pull Request #7272 · OpenRefine/OpenRefine · GitHub merged before releasing the beta. Please reach out if there are any other issues and/or pull requests you'd specifically like to see included in this release.
In the meantime, I'll also be tagging unreleased PRs with the 3.10 milestone in GitHub.
