+1 (non-binding) Thanks for preparing this release.
I validated Apache Pulsar 4.0.12 candidate 2. The source and binary artifact checksums and signatures looked good, and the release tag points to the expected commit: a94a4c5a0e2ed3c6f5e2ca70b1079fffd361c707 The official validation script completed successfully for me, including building from source, running standalone, producer/consumer validation, Cassandra connector validation, and Stateful Function validation. I also tried a few common usage paths from the released artifacts: starting standalone from the binary package, creating resources with admin commands, producing and consuming on a partitioned topic, using a small Java client built from the staging artifacts, and doing a basic Docker image runtime check. All of those passed. I did not see any release blockers. Thanks again.
