Avro 1.4.0?

[David Rosenstrauch <da...@darose.net>]

Just wondering:  is there a release date planned yet for Avro 1.4.0?

There's a bug fix in there that I could really use, and I'm trying to 
decide if I should wait for it, work around it, roll my own pre-release 
jar, etc.

Thanks,

DR

Bruce would be more suited to pushing the current Avro C code forward.  He
has more state in his head about where it was headed since he was doing the
work.  If we don't hear from Bruce, I could do the work to create a topic
branch and revert Avro C  to a better state for the release.

Not a hard date, but I'll be very disappointed if we don't get something 
out this month.  I've got a few more Java things that I hope to wrap up 
in the next week.  Other than that, Bruce claimed that Avro C was not in 
release-shape.  Bruce?  Matt?  Does anyone have time to spruce Avro C up 
a bit?  If someone doesn't come forward soon then I'll just start 
rolling release candidates and calling votes.

I do sometimes post snapshot builds for developers.  But if you're using 
this in production you should either build your own patched version or 
wait for a release.

An example of a POM that depends on the latest 1.4 snapshot is:

http://github.com/tdunning/Plume/blob/master/pom.xml

Ivy configuration is similar.  Avro's snapshots are at:
