Dear Airflow Community, I'm writing to inform you that we are planning to cut the first release candidate for Apache Airflow 3.1.0 this Friday.
As we prepare for this important milestone, I wanted to highlight the current state of open issues that we should prioritize for resolution before the RC1 cut: *High Priority Issues* (10 open): https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues?q=is%3Aissue+state%3Aopen+label%3Aaffected_version%3A3.1.0beta+label%3Apriority%3Ahigh These are critical issues that have been identified during 3.1.0beta testing and should ideally be resolved before RC1 to ensure a stable release candidate. *Medium Priority Issues* (22 open): https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues?q=is%3Aissue+state%3Aopen+label%3Aaffected_version%3A3.1.0beta+label%3Apriority%3Amedium While these issues are important, they are considered non-blocking for the RC1 release but should be addressed before the final 3.1.0 release. *Call for Action*: If you have been working on any of these issues or have capacity to help, please: 1. **Review the high priority issues** and contribute fixes if possible 2. **Test the current main branch** against your use cases to identify any remaining critical issues 3. **Comment on existing issues** with additional context, reproduction steps, or potential solutions If there are any severe blockers discovered before Friday, we may need to adjust the timeline. Please raise any critical concerns as soon as possible. Thank you for all your contributions and testing efforts with the 3.1.0beta release. Your feedback has been invaluable in identifying and resolving issues. Looking forward to delivering a solid RC1 for the community! Best regards, Kaxil
