Hey all, First of all - All the best in 2022! I wish all of you the 2022 (after 2020 and 2021) will be relatively uneventful :).
I have just cut the new wave Airflow Providers packages. This email is calling a vote on the release, which will last for 72 hours + 2 days(!) for New Years Eve - which means that it will end on Wed 05 Jan 2022 10:27:01 PM CET. Consider this my (binding) +1. This is a regular set of provider's (20+) - but cncf.kubernetes stands out as it has a number of improvements including a dry-run mode ! While it is likely backwards compatible, we made a major release for it - in case you extended KubernetesPodOperator you might need some changes. But, afraid not! We got you covered and Daniel wrote a very detailed changelog that covers all the changes, so it should be a _breeze_ to update to the new version :). See more here: https://pypi.org/project/apache-airflow-providers-cncf-kubernetes/3.0.0rc1/ KUDOS to Daniel for this! Also - the new providers are mostly MyPY compatible and have improved typing - so if you are using the providers in your DAGs, you will get a nice IDE support for autocomplete and you can run type verification when you use it - with MyPY. We will continue improving that, but it's already a big move forward - especially when we release Airflow 2.3.0 (soon). Airflow Providers are available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/providers/ *apache-airflow-providers-<PROVIDER>-*.tar.gz* are the binary Python "sdist" release - they are also official "sources" for the provider packages. *apache_airflow_providers_<PROVIDER>-*.whl are the binary Python "wheel" release. The test procedure for PMC members who would like to test the RC candidates are described in https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_PROVIDER_PACKAGES.md#verify-the-release-by-pmc-members and for Contributors: https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_PROVIDER_PACKAGES.md#verify-by-contributors Public keys are available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/airflow/KEYS Please vote accordingly: [ ] +1 approve [ ] +0 no opinion [ ] -1 disapprove with the reason Only votes from PMC members are binding, but members of the community are encouraged to test the release and vote with "(non-binding)". Please note that the version number excludes the 'rcX' string. This will allow us to rename the artifact without modifying the artifact checksums when we actually release.
