Hi everyone! The next (2.42.0) release branch cut is scheduled for Sept 7th, according to the release calendar [1].
I would like to volunteer myself to do this release. My plan is to cut the branch on that date, and cherrypick release-blocking fixes afterwards, if any. Please help me make sure the release goes smoothly by: - Making sure that any unresolved release blocking issues for 2.42.0 should have their "Milestone" marked as "2.42.0 Release" as soon as possible. - Reviewing the current release blockers [2] and remove the Milestone if they don't meet the criteria at [3]. Let me know if you have any comments/objections/questions. Due to travel, I will be unavailable to answer any emails from August 26th until Sept 5th, but cut blocking concerns will be resolved before I make the cut, and will delay it if necessary. This thread will be notified in that instance. Thanks, Robert Burke [1] https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=0p73sl034k80oob7seouanigd0%40group.calendar.google.com [2] https://github.com/apache/beam/milestone/4 [3] https://beam.apache.org/contribute/release-blocking/
