Quick update: 3.2.0b2 is delayed. We currently have 13 critical and high-priority issues <https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3Aaffected_version%3A3.2.0beta%20(label%3Apriority%3Acritical%20OR%20label%3Apriority%3Ahigh)> open, and we should address these before cutting beta2. Critical <https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3Aaffected_version%3A3.2.0beta%20label%3Apriority%3Acritical> ones are DB migration related. In my performance migration tests, the 3.1.8 -> 3.2.0 upgrade took ~57 minutes, and the downgrade path has blockers that require manual intervention (missing FK index, savepoint lock exhaustion).
