Hi folks, thanks Richard for putting the rc1 together.
The steps & checks I’ve conducted: 1.) Verified hashes and signatures: => PASSED 2.) Conducted Maven build locally from src (zip): => PASSED Apache Maven 3.9.11 (3e54c93a704957b63ee3494413a2b544fd3d825b) Maven home: /Applications/apache-maven-3 Java version: 17.0.17, vendor: Eclipse Adoptium, runtime: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-17.0.17.jdk/Contents/Home Default locale: de_DE, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "mac os x", version: "26.1", arch: "aarch64", family: "mac" 3.) Checked content of binary distribution (tar.gz) => PASSED 4.) No unexpected binary files in the source release => PASSED 5.) Checked eval results of CI / builds.ao for rc1 tag => PASSED 6.) Did some individual tests w/ the release candidate => PASSED VOTE: +1 (binding) Thanks to all contributors.
