Hey all, I have just cut the new wave Airflow Providers packages with release preparation date 2026-10-17. This email is calling a vote on the release, which will last for 24 hours - which means that it will end on 2026-10-19 00:00 UTC and until 3 binding +1 votes have been received.
This is an ad-hoc wave with a single provider, common.ai 1.0.0rc3, the first stable release of the provider. It was excluded from the 2026-10-14 wave so that it could ship with the pydantic-ai-skills cap (#74899): the "skills" extra allowed pydantic-ai-skills 2.x, which breaks a fresh "[skills]" install at run time. Since rc1 it also gained the changes merged in the meantime (OpenAI Agents SDK adapter, durable replay and tracing, retry-policy reschedule, and several fixes) and the docs fixes found while testing rc1 (#74904, #74939). rc2 was cut but never put to a vote and is superseded by rc3. I am running it on an accelerated timeline because it is a re-cut of a provider that was already tested in the 2026-10-14 wave (#74741), and most of its changes were verified there. If, for any reason, there is a binding objection to running in accelerated mode, or if there are not enough binding votes during that time, this vote will be converted into a regular vote ending 72 hours from now, on 2026-10-21 00:00 UTC. Consider this my (binding) +1. Airflow Providers are available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/providers/2026-10-17 *apache-airflow-providers-2026-10-17-source.tar.gz* is the full source tarball of airflow repo - snapshot taken at the moment of provider's release. *apache-airflow-providers-<PROVIDER>-*.tar.gz* are the convenience python "sdist" distributions that we publish in PyPI *apache_airflow_providers_<PROVIDER>-*.whl are the convenience Python "wheel" distributions that we publish in PyPI. The test procedure for PMC members is described in https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_PROVIDERS.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_PROVIDERS.md#verify-the-release-candidate-by-contributors 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 members of the community are encouraged to test the release and vote with "(non-binding)". Please note that the version number excludes the 'rcX' string. This will allow us to rename the artifact without modifying the artifact checksums when we actually release it. There is no separate testing issue for this wave; the testing status of the changes carried over from rc1 is in https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/74741.
