Atlas team,

=20

It has been about 7 months since we released Apache Atlas 0.7 (incubating) =
version.

We added several features/fixes in master branch during this time, includin=
g:

=20

1. a new REST API with structured/well-defined input and output data struct=
ures. This would make it easier for applications to integrate with Apache At=
las

2. abstraction layer to access graph database, enabling Atlas to work with =
different database versions

3. responsive UI with less chatty calls with the server side

4. UI to create HBase/Kafka/HDFS entity instances, which enables tag-based =
authorization for these components

5. updated type-model with constructs like foreignKey, mappedFromRef, onDel=
ete-cascade/update, etc.

6. simplified approach to updates types =E2=80=93 using patch files

7. centralized error code catalog

8. performance improvements in entity create/update

9. updated QuickStart to demonstrate use of new REST APIs

=20

I propose we make the next release of Apache Atlas =E2=80=93 0.8 (incubating). Ho=
w about we plan to release by 2/24? This should give us enough time to close=
 on various dev items currently in progress and go through the voting proces=
s.

Please share your comments and suggestions.

Madhan
