Really need some review here @trinodb/maintainers-gateway so we can move to a release soon

[ebyhr]

I don't think this is a breaking change. The PR removed unused code.

[mosabua]

Do we know for sure it was unused? I am not sure .. there might have been private extensions .. but maybe we don't consider that as breaking

[ebyhr]

We don't need to write release notes for "private extensions". This project isn't a library.

[oneonestar]

Private extensions are not officially supported, so I don’t think a release note is needed. Anyone who can implement private extensions and patch the source code should be able to figure it out themselves.

[mosabua]

Okay. I removed the breaking label but left the entry there. Okay?

[ebyhr]

There's no need to add this entry, since the feature didn't exist from a user perspective.

LGTM 👍

[vishalya]

Thanks for including the links to the merged PR list for the older versions as well.
LGTM!

[mosabua]

All comments addressed. Set date to tomorrow for now. Hopefully @martint can cut a release.
