+1 (binding) - Verified the expected artifacts are present in SVN. - Verified all artifact signatures and SHA-512 checksums, along with both release tag signatures. - Ran Apache RAT: no unknown or unapproved licenses. - Rebuilt all seven artifacts from the RC2 sources and confirmed they are byte-for-byte identical to the staged releases.
I also tested my changes using real Dag scenarios, covering asset partition/extra filters through the REST API and inlets, asset-event cleanup, waiting-task version updates, and callback ownership. All those checks passed, and my changes behaved as expected. Thanks for preparing the release!
