Hey all, I have just cut the new wave Airflow Providers packages with a release preparation date of 2026-04-08. This email is calling a vote on the release, This will last for 72 hours, meaning it will end on Saturday, 2026-04-11 07:11 UTC, provided 3 binding +1 votes have been received.
Consider this my (binding) +1. This is a regular release, it's a big one though as many providers have connection configuration stored in metadata - which makes it faster to discover providers especially in UI. This is the first time we release the common.ai provider. Airflow Providers are available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/providers/2026-04-08 *apache-airflow-providers-2026-04-08-source.tar.gz* is the full source tarball of airflow repo - snapshot taken at the moment of provider's release. *apache-airflow-providers-<PROVIDER>-*.tar.gz* are the convenience python "sdist" distributions that we publish in PyPI *apache_airflow_providers_<PROVIDER>-*.whl are the convenience Python "wheel" distributions that we publish in PyPI. The test procedure for PMC members is described in https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_PROVIDERS.md#verify-the-release-candidate-by-pmc-members The test procedure for and Contributors who would like to test this RC is described in: https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_PROVIDERS.md#verify-the-release-candidate-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 it. The status of testing the providers by the community is kept here: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/64886 The issue is also the easiest way to see important PRs included in the RC candidates. Detailed changelog for the providers will be published in the documentation after the RC candidates are released.
