Release v1.1.6

[SocalNick]

Hi there!

We actively use gh-ost at Gusto, we built a tool that wraps gh-ost for our use case. We've maintained a fork on and off over the years, and got our largest change, the logging interface, upstreamed several years ago. However, we'd really like to get back on upstream.

I noticed in the release notes for v1.1.5 that it was created off v1.1.4 with some commits cherry-picked from master. Seems this has been the case for the last few releases.

In our effort to get back to upstream gh-ost, we discovered that #888 introduced a bug that we caught in our integration tests. The issue is exactly as described in #1171. This change has been present in every version of gh-ost since v1.1.1. However, the change was reverted in the latest commit on master.

In addition to the latest commit, we'd really like to get a release cut that includes this small change I contributed last November.

Ideally, we'd like to have master back in a state that it can be released more frequently. As mentioned, the release notes indicate, "as it [master] contains a known issue that is currently being investigated". Can you shed light on that issue? I can report that the integration tests for our tool pass on the latest commit on gh-ost master, but we wouldn't want to use that without understanding the issue being investigated.

As an alternative, would you consider cutting a release that cherry-picks #1180 and #1194?

We really appreciate your consideration and the work you all do to make this tool a viable solution for safe schema migrations. Let us know if there's anything else we can do to support it!

Thanks,

Nick

@meiji163 @rashiq @timvaillancourt wondering if you all can consider cutting a release per the above?

Yes, a new release is sorely needed 👍. Hoping @dm-2 / @rashiq / @meiji163 can help with that 👋🙇

It should be fixed in #1322. I'll work on a release this week
