Hey all, I have just cut the new wave Airflow Providers packages. This email is calling a vote on the release, which will last for 24 hours - which means that it will end on Thursday, 2nd of Dec 2022, 4 PM CET.
This release is accelerated - because those providers are needed for 2.5.0 release and RC3 release will be accelerated as well (after RC1/RC2) and we would like to release the providers before, so that Airflow 2.5 makes use of them. Consider this my (binding) +1. There are fixes to Snowflake providers (bugs were found in 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 release and we are releasing 4.0.2 with breaking change in Hook return method (but with easy switch back to old behaviour) to complete the transition to common DBApi functionality. Also Exasol fixes "common" behaviours and Zendesk has a new connection type added. 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. The status of testing the providers by the community is kept here: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/28036 You can find packages as well as detailed changelog following the below links: https://pypi.org/project/apache-airflow-providers-zendesk/4.2.0rc1/ https://pypi.org/project/apache-airflow-providers-snowflake/4.0.2rc1/ https://pypi.org/project/apache-airflow-providers-exasol/4.1.2rc1/ Cheers, J.
