Hi All, This is a call for vote to release Apache SkyWalking (Incubating) version 5.0.0-alpha.
The Apache SkyWalking community has tested, voted and approved the proposed release of Apache SkyWalking (Incubating) 5.0.0-alpha From last vote: 1. Separated the NOTICE and LICENSE in source package and distribution 2. Removed the libraries in source package. 3. Removed some unnecessary excludes from rat setting. 4. Added a missing DISCLAIMER file. We now kindly request the Incubator PMC members review and vote on this incubator release. Skywalking is an APM (application performance monitor), especially for microservice, Cloud Native and container-based architecture systems. Also known as a distributed tracing system. It provides an automatic way to instrument applications: no need to change any of the source code of the target application; and an collector with an very high efficiency streaming module.
