Hi Abhishek! Thank you for working on this release!
I’ve built the project on Ubuntu22 in debug and release modes. I’ve checked the test failures Zoltan described. We’ve cleared those up offline: Most of them were just flaky, and small test failures corresponding to non Ubuntu18 machines: minidump-test and curl_util. I’ve built the Java client locally and ran the Java example successfully. There was just one caveat, that now we have to put com.stumbleupon.async into the example pom. But I don’t think this should hold up the release. I’ve also built and ran all the Python client tests, those were fine (Ubuntu22 and Python3.8). Moreover verified locally the package install: built the Python dist, and installed it into a clean venv, and ran the Python example. This was also fine. +1 from my end. Thanks again for your continued effort on this release!
