Hi everyone, Please review and vote on the release candidate #4 for the version 2.27.0, as follows: [ ] +1, Approve the release [ ] -1, Do not approve the release (please provide specific comments)
*NOTE*. What happened to RC #2? I started building RC2 before completing all the cherry-picks, so the tag for RC2 was created on an incorrect commit. *NOTE*. What happened to RC #3? I started building RC3, but a new bug was discovered (BEAM-11569) that required amending the branch. Thus this is now RC4. Reviewers are encouraged to test their own use cases with the release candidate, and vote +1 if no issues are found. The complete staging area is available for your review, which includes: * JIRA release notes [1], * the official Apache source release to be deployed to dist.apache.org [2], which is signed with the key with fingerprint C79DDD47DAF3808F0B9DDFAC02B2D9F742008494 [3], * all artifacts to be deployed to the Maven Central Repository [4], * source code tag "v2.27.0-RC4" [5], * website pull request listing the release [6], publishing the API reference manual [7], and the blog post [8]. * Python artifacts are deployed along with the source release to the dist.apache.org [2]. * Validation sheet with a tab for 2.27.0 release to help with validation [9]. * Docker images published to Docker Hub [10]. The vote will be open for at least 72 hours, but given the holidays, we will likely extend for a few more days. The release will be adopted by majority approval, with at least 3 PMC affirmative votes. Thanks, -P.
