[jreback]

discussion for 1.0.

We are focusing all deprecation removals and we should try to release by September 2019.

duplicate of #17287

[jreback]

not a duplicate

the other issue is a wish list

We are focusing all deprecation removals

does this start now, or after 0.25.1, 0.25.2?

[jreback]

yes removals start now for 1.0

[simonjayhawkins]

also, are we dropping Python 3.5 for 1.0? and moving to inline variable annotations?

[jreback]

yes to both (need to drop 3.5 first of course)

[simonjayhawkins]

cool.

3.8.0 final: Monday, 2019-10-21, so after pandas 1.0, shouldn't need to backport 3.8 issues to 0.25, but will probably need to backport 3.8 issues to 1.0.

at some point before the 1.0 release, we'll probably need PY3.8 builds against either the betas or RCs

We don't have a list of removals we need to make here yet right? I assume it's most everything in #18262 and maybe more. Happy to open a new issue for that if not done already and track therein (or here as well)

[jorisvandenbossche]

I assume it's most everything in #18262

That issue is for things we want to deprecate, not necessarily for things to remove. Up to now, we have been using this issue to keep track of that: #6581
In principle everything in that list should be removed (maybe with priority for the older ones)

cc @pandas-dev/pandas-core it's about time to cut a release candidate. I'd like to do one on Friday / this weekend if possible, and let it sit for a week or two. Does that sound reasonable to people? I'll go through the backlog of issues / PRs tagged for 1.0, but let me know if you have an issue you consider a blocker and I'll add it to the list.
