Hey fellow Airflowers, I have cut Airflow 2.9.0rc1. This email is calling a vote on the release, which will last at least 72 hours, from Wednesday, April 3, 2024 at 8:15 am UTC until Saturday, April 6, 2024, at 8:15 am UTC <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=8&iso=20240406T0815&p1=1440>, and until 3 binding +1 votes have been received.
Consider this my (binding) +1. Airflow 2.9.0rc1 is available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/2.9.0rc1/ *apache-airflow-2.9.0-source.tar.gz* is a source release that comes with INSTALL instructions. *apache-airflow-2.9.0.tar.gz* is the binary Python "sdist" release. *apache_airflow-2.9.0-py3-none-any.whl* is the binary Python wheel "binary" release. Public keys are available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/airflow/KEYS Please vote accordingly: [ ] +1 approve [ ] +0 no opinion [ ] -1 disapprove with the reason Only votes from PMC members are binding, but all members of the community are encouraged to test the release and vote with "(non-binding)". The test procedure for PMC members is described in: https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_AIRFLOW.md\#verify-the-release-candidate-by-pmc-members The test procedure for and Contributors who would like to test this RC is described in: https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_AIRFLOW.md\#verify-the-release-candidate-by-contributors Please note that the version number excludes the `rcX` string, so it's now simply 2.9.0. This will allow us to rename the artifact without modifying the artifact checksums when we actually release. Release Notes: https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/2.9.0rc1/RELEASE_NOTES.rst For information on what goes into a release please see: https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/WHAT_GOES_INTO_THE_NEXT_RELEASE.md *Changes since 2.8.4:* *Significant Changes* *Following Listener API methods are considered stable and can be used for production system (were experimental feature in older Airflow versions) (#36376):* Lifecycle events: - ``on_starting`` - ``before_stopping`` DagRun State Change Events: - ``on_dag_run_running`` - ``on_dag_run_success`` - ``on_dag_run_failed`` TaskInstance State Change Events: - ``on_task_instance_running`` - ``on_task_instance_success`` - ``on_task_instance_failed`` *Support for Microsoft SQL-Server for Airflow Meta Database has been removed (#36514)* After `discussion < https://lists.apache.org/thread/r06j306hldg03g2my1pd4nyjxg78b3h4>`__ and a `voting process < https://lists.apache.org/thread/pgcgmhf6560k8jbsmz8nlyoxosvltph2>`__, the Airflow's PMC and Committers have reached a resolution to no longer maintain MsSQL as a supported Database Backend. As of Airflow 2.9.0 support of MsSQL has been removed for Airflow Database Backend. A migration script which can help migrating the database *before* upgrading to Airflow 2.9.0 is available in `airflow-mssql-migration repo on Github < https://github.com/apache/airflow-mssql-migration>`_. Note that the migration script is provided without support and warranty. This does not affect the existing provider packages (operators and hooks), DAGs can still access and process data from MsSQL. *Dataset URIs are now validated on input (#37005)* Datasets must use a URI that conform to rules laid down in AIP-60, and the value will be automatically normalized when the DAG file is parsed. See `documentation on Datasets < https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/authoring-and-scheduling/datasets.html>`_ for a more detailed description on the rules. You may need to change your Dataset identifiers if they look like a URI, but are used in a less mainstream way, such as relying on the URI's auth section, or have a case-sensitive protocol name. *The method ``get_permitted_menu_items`` in ``BaseAuthManager`` has been renamed ``filter_permitted_menu_items`` (#37627)* *Add REST API actions to Audit Log events (#37734)* The Audit Log ``event`` name for REST API events will be prepended with ``api.`` or ``ui.``, depending on if it came from the Airflow UI or externally. *Official support for Python 3.12 (#38025)* There are a few caveats though: * Pendulum2 does not support Python 3.12. For Python 3.12 you need to use `Pendulum 3 < https://pendulum.eustace.io/blog/announcing-pendulum-3-0-0.html>`_ * Minimum SQLAlchemy version supported when Pandas is installed for Python 3.12 is ``1.4.36`` released in April 2022. Airflow 2.9.0 increases the minimum supported version of SQLAlchemy to ``1.4.36`` for all Python versions. Not all Providers support Python 3.12. At the initial release of Airflow 2.9.0 the following providers are released without support for Python 3.12: * ``apache.beam`` - pending on `Apache Beam support for 3.12 < https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/29149>`_ * ``papermill`` - pending on Releasing Python 3.12 compatible papermill client version `including this merged issue < https://github.com/nteract/papermill/pull/771>`_ *Prevent large string objects from being stored in the Rendered Template Fields (#38094)* There's now a limit to the length of data that can be stored in the Rendered Template Fields. The limit is set to 4096 characters. If the data exceeds this limit, it will be truncated. You can change this limit by setting the ``[core]max_template_field_length`` configuration option in your airflow config. *Change xcom table column value type to longblob for MySQL backend (#38401)* Xcom table column ``value`` type has changed from ``blob`` to ``longblob``. This will allow you to store relatively big data in Xcom but process can take a significant amount of time if you have a lot of large data stored in Xcom. To downgrade from revision: ``b4078ac230a1``, ensure that you don't have Xcom values larger than 65,535 bytes. Otherwise, you'll need to clean those rows or run ``airflow db clean xcom`` to clean the Xcom table. *New Features* - Allow users to write dag_id and task_id in their national characters, added display name for dag / task (v2) (#38446) - Prevent large objects from being stored in the RTIF (#38094) - Use current time to calculate duration when end date is not present.
