Druid tags 39.0.0 rc1 five weeks after 38, a faster turn than recent majors.

◆Current state
Druid 38.0.0 shipped on October 1 with Java 25 support, Java 17 dropped, Historical tier aliases and a realtimeSegmentsMode query context. On November 6 the project tagged druid-39.0.0-rc1, about five weeks later. The tag carries no release notes yet.
◆Where it's heading
Majors have arrived every three to five months with 190-255 changes each; a 39 candidate five weeks after 38 shortens that gap. What 39 contains is not visible until the final notes publish.
◆Prediction
Expect the 39.0.0 final within one to three weeks, following the rc-to-final gap of earlier majors.

    Druid 37.0.0 lands with over 255 changes from 29 contributors, alongside upgrade notes and a list of incompatible changes. A substantial major by volume, but the entry itself is a pointer — the direction has to be read from the linked notes, not here.
