This probably needs to sync up with a major arrow-rs release, which I think would put this at mid to late August

[alamb]

The next major arrow release is 53.0.0 and scheduled for early September. I am tracking it here #6016

[tustvold]

Right so the object_store breaking release would need to come before this (or wait until the next arrow breaking release).

Tbh I'm not sure there is really enough pending changes to warrant a breaking object_store release at this point

The only one I know of is #6070.

On the other hand having an easy to update version might not be terrible 🤔

Maybe we can reasses in 2 weeks and see what else has come up

I am beginning to prepare a release candidate

[alamb]

We have an RC and a vote thread https://lists.apache.org/thread/dzo578l67jz2v60y14gr4zwz35o3fv05

[alamb]

I needed to create a second RC due to #6233

Many thanks again to @Xuanwo reporting and helping review the changes

The RC2 voting thread is here: https://lists.apache.org/thread/33oqdlmwnsxm9zs68rmtx7bpo948tf34

Thank you very much for driving this. One risk I observed is that only @alamb and @tustvold participate in the release process. I will find some time to help improve the release process and encourage more people to join in.

I agree

I will find some time to help improve the release process and encourage more people to join in.

Thank you this would be most appreciated. I think currently the process is not well documented (basically it requires the context of doing the arrow-rs releases, which is also a specialized set of instructions)

Perhaps part of pulling this code into its own repo would naturally be documenting the process better.

The release is available here:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/arrow/arrow-object-store-rs-0.11.0

It is also available on crates.io: https://crates.io/crates/object_store/0.11.0

I am tracking the next release here #6263
