Hey all, I have just cut the new wave Airflow Providers packages with release preparation date 2026-11-03. This email is calling a vote on the release, which will last for 72 hours - it will end on 2026-11-08 22:00 UTC and until 3 binding +1 votes have been received.
Consider this my (binding) +1. This wave contains 32 provider distributions. 11 of them are major-version releases that carry breaking changes (predominantly removals of long-deprecated APIs): * alibaba 4.0.0 * apache.hive 10.0.0 * apache.kafka 3.0.0 * celery 4.0.0 * cncf.kubernetes 11.0.0 * common.sql 3.0.0 * exasol 5.0.0 * presto 6.0.0 * standard 2.0.0 * trino 7.0.0 * yandex 5.0.0 The breaking changes for each provider are listed in its changelog and in the testing issue linked below. The common.ai provider has pending changes in main but is intentionally held back from this wave and is not part of this vote. Airflow Providers are available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/providers/2026-11-03 *apache-airflow-providers-2026-11-03-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 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/76568 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.
