Happy holidays everyone, Please review and vote on the release candidate #1 for the version 2.53.0, as follows:
[ ] +1, Approve the release [ ] -1, Do not approve the release (please provide specific comments) Reviewers are encouraged to test their own use cases with the release candidate, and vote +1 if no issues are found. Only PMC member votes will count towards the final vote, but votes from all community members are encouraged and helpful for finding regressions; you can either test your own use cases [13] or use cases from the validation sheet [10]. The complete staging area is available for your review, which includes: * GitHub Release notes [1], * the official Apache source release to be deployed to dist.apache.org [2], which is signed with the key with fingerprint DF3CBA4F3F4199F4 (D20316F712213422 if automated) [3], * all artifacts to be deployed to the Maven Central Repository [4], * source code tag "v1.2.3-RC3" [5], * website pull request listing the release [6], the blog post [6], and publishing the API reference manual [7]. * Python artifacts are deployed along with the source release to the dist.apache.org [2] and PyPI[8]. * Go artifacts and documentation are available at pkg.go.dev [9] * Validation sheet with a tab for 2.53.0 release to help with validation [10]. * Docker images published to Docker Hub [11]. * PR to run tests against release branch [12]. The vote will be open for at least 72 hours. It is adopted by majority approval, with at least 3 PMC affirmative votes. For guidelines on how to try the release in your projects, check out our RC testing guide [13]. Given the time of year I'm anticipating validating this RC to take longer than is typical for a Beam release. I won't be considering tomorrow or Monday towards the minimum voting period. As of right now the only remaining internal work is to publish legacy Java containers for Dataflow, which is in-progress and should be done this evening. I hope everyone has a relaxing end to 2023!
