Hey all, I have just cut the new wave Airflow Providers packages with release preparation date 2026-07-22. This email is calling a vote on the release, which will last for 72 hours - which means that it will end on 2026-07-27 05:00 UTC and until 3 binding +1 votes have been received.
Consider this my (binding) +1. Breaking changes in the current RC: - Airbyte 6.0.0rc1: upgraded to airbyte-api 1.x and switched underlying HTTP client from requests to httpx. Most Dag-level interfaces stay the same, but environments relying on transitive dependencies must adapt (explicitly depend on requests if needed, and direct airbyte_api consumers need to handle 1.x/Pydantic request model behavior). - Microsoft Azure 14.0.0rc1: minimum azure-mgmt-datafactory bumped from 2.x to 10.x due to upstream SDK breaking changes. Airflow hook API remains compatible, but runtime environment must upgrade azure-mgmt-datafactory to >=10.0.0 (or remain on provider 13.x). - Postgres 7.0.0rc2: default Postgres drivers switch to psycopg3 for both sync and async paths on Airflow 3.4+. Async default URL effectively changes from postgresql+asyncpg:// to postgresql+psycopg_async:// unless explicitly pinned. Users wanting old behavior should set connection URLs explicitly to psycopg2/asyncpg. - SFTP 6.0.0rc1: paramiko minimum bumped to 4.0.0; DSS/DSA keys are no longer supported. Users with DSA/DSS keys or ssh-dss host key pinning must rotate to supported key types (for example Ed25519/RSA). - SSH 6.0.0rc1: same paramiko 4.0.0 impact as above; DSA private keys and ssh-dss host keys are unsupported and require key migration.

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/70355 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.
