The test procedure for PMC members is described in: https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_AIRFLOW.md#verify-the-release-candidate-by-pmc-members The test procedure for contributors and members of the community who would like to test this RC is described in: https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_AIRFLOW.md#verify-the-release-candidate-by-contributors Please note that the version number excludes the 'rcX' string, so it's now simply 3.1.3 for Airflow package and 1.1.3 for Task SDK. This will allow us to rename the artifact without modifying the artifact checksums when we actually release.
