> So I can start RC1 for 5.6.1 today? I've merged "utf-8 by default" PR, so the only thing left before preparing a RC is updating the changelog: https://github.com/apache/jmeter/pull/6024
If the changelog looks good to me, we can merge PR6024 and start RC1. > (i think that we have an issue on release plugin about the no-generated > .asc and .sha512 file on release files) I fixed and merged it in https://github.com/apache/jmeter/pull/6003 Vladimir
