Hey all,
I have just cut a RC2 of the wave Airflow Providers packages with
release preparation date 2026-05-25. This email is calling a vote on the
release, which will last for 24 hours - which means that it will end on
2026-05-26 19:23 UTC and until 3 binding +1 votes have been received.
This is a shortened (24 hours vote) as agreed by policy set it
https://lists.apache.org/thread/cv194w1fqqykrhswhmm54zy9gnnv6kgm
Consider this my (binding) +1.
Reason for the release cut are the bugs found during testing with
Airbyte and dbt-clout provider which are now fixed in RC2. No other
change and just 2 providers re-released.
Airflow Providers are available at:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/providers/2026-05-25
* apache-airflow-providers-2026-05-25-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

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/67490
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.
