Hey everyone, the next release (2.53.0) branch cut is scheduled for Dec 13, 2023, 2 weeks from today, according to the release calendar [1]. I'd like to perform this release; I will cut the branch on that date, and cherrypick release-blocking fixes afterwards, if any.
Please help with the release by: - Making sure that any unresolved release blocking issues have their "Milestone" marked as "2.53.0 Release" as soon as possible. - Reviewing the current release blockers [2] and remove the Milestone if they don't meet the criteria at [3]. There are currently 12 release blockers. Let me know if you have any comments/objections/questions. Thanks, Jack [1] https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=0p73sl034k80oob7seouanigd0%40group.calendar.google.com [2] https://github.com/apache/beam/milestone/17 [3] https://beam.apache.org/contribute/release-blocking/ -- Jack McCluskey SWE - DataPLS PLAT/ Dataflow ML RDU jrmcclus...@google.com
