there is no "schedule" I wanted to get a release out before this week as I am taking time off this week and next. I'll be around just taking extra long weekends. That being said:
Lets shoot for the beginning of August which allows you enough time to get the two patches you mentioned in.
The procedure is relatively manual. The code in github gets tagged and we publish jars on the site and maven.
I mainly have the following questions: 1) When is the expected release date? What is the procedure? 2) Will it be possible to include "support binary transfer for java.sql.Struct / java.sql.Array" patch if PR appears in the next week or two? -- Regards, Vladimir Sitnikov
