Optiq release 0.8

[Julian Hyde <ju...@hydromatic.net>]

We have been making releases of Optiq monthly for the past several months [1]. The community seems to appreciate the predictability, and I believe it helps build our community. (For one thing, it encourages people to contribute back and wait for a release, rather than creating their own development branch.)

There have been 5 weeks, 34 commits, and 13 issues fixed since the last release, so we are due for a new one.

We are making progress through the incubation process -- the key SGAs have been filed, and so we should be able to transfer code to Apache git in the next few days; also we have moved to Apache jira and mailing lists -- but we are probably a month away from making a release through Apache.

With our mentors' permission, I would like to create a release using the "old" process in the next few days. How do I get that permission?

Hi Julian,

sorry for the belated reply - I think it is allright for practical
reasons to do a final non-ASF release as the code hasn't been migrated
yet.

Kind regards,

Steven.

Our mentors agreed to do a release outside the incubator. And it seems
quite common for new podlings:
