[daspecster]

There's a few things we need to do before we cut this.

• Merge Fix IO Permissions on Appveyor. #1868
• Merge Add customer-supplied encryption to storage #1844
• Merge Select API helper based on presence of grpcio + optional environment marker #1816
• Merge Making grpcio install require fewer keystrokes. #1815
• Merge Get project ID from JSON credentials file #1813
• Merge More gax paging fixes #1870
• Fix GAX API hangs during (second) 'publish' #1869 done by disabling GAX for pubsub

[daspecster]

@tseaver, what do you think about merging in #1815 and #1844 for this release?

[daspecster]

@tseaver, #1844 got merged and I'm inclined to leave #1813 out unless we can merge it today. But I'm not sure about #1815?

[tseaver]

I just merged #1815. I think we should merge #1813 today, and then make a release.

[tseaver]

$ git log -1 --pretty=%H

$ git log 0.15.0..HEAD | grep 'Merge pull request ' |  awk -F ' ' '{print $4}' | sort

yields:

#1815
#1816
#1843
#1848
#1851
#1855
#1861

[daspecster]

@tseaver also I made a release draft for 0.16.0 just fyi.

[daspecster]

@tseaver, when I rerun

$ git log 0.15.0..HEAD | grep 'Merge pull request ' |  awk -F ' ' '{print $4}' | sort

I don't see the new PRs in there...#1813, #1860, #1844...possibly others?

Any ideas?

[tseaver]

Have you merged your local master with upstream/master?

[daspecster]

I rebased it.

Do they show up for you?

[tseaver]

Also, "merge w/ squash commits" doesn't create a merge commit findable by that command line. I manually ran git log 0.15.0..HEAD and looked at the commits to uncover #1844, for instance.

[daspecster]

Ah that's it! I did use the github squash merge and I didn't add "Merge pull request" to the commit message.

[daspecster]

I left out #1860 since you mentioned it's not user facing really.

@tseaver I think once we get the GRPCIO 0.14.0 issues on appveyor and the docs generation working we can cut this release right?

SGTM

[tseaver]

Is grpcio 0.14.0 expected to Just Work (TM) on Windows? Given my last comments on #1863, I'd say we could go ahead with our release even though Appveyor is broken.

[daspecster]

@tseaver, is there any fallout we could be heading towards by releasing?

It looks like my credentials helper function errors if it doesn't have permissions. I can just catch that in an except so it fails more peacefully.

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/daspecster/gcloud-python/build/1.0.1.master/job/433qv2dtg3uq4a4t#L513

[tseaver]

I'd say we can go ahead and release, unless @jgeewax thinks that the grpico-on-Windows bit from #1815 is a blocker.

[daspecster]

@tseaver we could merge in #1868 to fix some of the appveyor issues but not all obviously.

[tseaver]

Sounds good. The remaining failures will then be blocked on a fix for grpc/grpc#6939.

[daspecster]

Ok, sounds like a plan. Is there anything we can do to help resolve that?

[tseaver]

@daspecster I just updated the checklist to pull in #1870 and the need to fix #1869.

[tseaver]

@daspecster #1874 reverts pubsub defaults to the safe JSON-over-HTTP. AFAIK, it would be the last change needed before merging here.

[daspecster]

We should probably note this in the release notes.

[tseaver]

@daspecster I just updated the release note above for pubsub.

[daspecster]

Good to go then right?

[tseaver]

Yup!
