Hey all, I have cut RC2 for the three providers deferred from the October 20 wave:
- apache-airflow-providers-common-ai 1.1.0 - apache-airflow-providers-microsoft-azure 15.3.0 - apache-airflow-providers-openlineage 2.21.0 This vote will remain open for at least 72 hours, no earlier than November 1, 2026 at 13:30 UTC, and until at least three binding +1 votes have been received. Consider this my +1 (binding). This candidate includes the Azure Power BI/MSGraph durable-execution corrections and the OpenLineage task-loop and mapped-task lineage fixes. The changelogs include significant upgrade guidance for Common AI output serialization and OpenLineage SQL hook job names and task-note facets. The packages have also been refreshed with new Common AI integrations and LLM telemetry, and OpenLineage dataset filtering. The 27 providers already released from the October 20 wave are outside this vote. The release candidate artifacts are available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/providers/2026-10-29/ The full source archive is apache_airflow_providers-2026-10-29-source.tar.gz. Provider sdists and wheels are convenience distributions. The SVN artifacts use final-version filenames so an approved candidate can be promoted without rebuilding. All artifacts were built from the signed wave tag providers/2026-10-29 at commit fb6534f1db4c57cf34be78c57d07a481d21ff7af.
