Hi, We built 18.0.0 RC0 binaries with wrong source. The 18.0.0 RC0 source archive was generated from the apache-arrow-18.0.0-rc0 tag[0] but the binaries were built from d0e7d07[1] not the apache-arrow-18.0.0-rc0 tag. It's my fault. Sorry.
[0] https://github.com/apache/arrow/releases/tag/apache-arrow-18.0.0-rc0 [1] https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/44440#issuecomment-2416557688 I think that we should release 18.0.1. Is there any committer or PMC member who want to volunteer 18.0.1 release manager? I'll help you. (I think we can have multiple release managers for one release to reduce each release manager's cost.) See also https://arrow.apache.org/docs/developers/release.html for release related tasks. In recent years, only some limited contributors worked on our releases. It may be better that we have more contributors working on our releases to keep releasing continuously. FYI: Here are problems of 18.0.0 RC0 binaries: Affected binaries: * Python wheels * Apache Arrow C++ binaries used by the R packages * Java jars * C# NuGets * MATLAB MLTBX Not affected binaries: * deb * RPM Affected details: Python wheels: * pyarrow.cpp_build_info.version is "18.0.0-SNAPSHOT" not "18.0.0" Apache Arrow C++ binaries used by the R packages: * ARROW_VERSION_STRING is "18.0.0-SNAPSHOT" not "18.0.0" (I'm not sure the R bindings have API something like pyarrow.cpp_build_info.version.) Java jars: * Version is "18.0.0-SNAPSHOT" not "18.0.0" * Bump logback.version from 1.5.8 to 1.5.10 * Bump checker.framework.version from 3.48.0 to 3.48.1 (This may not be affected.) * Bump org.cyclonedx:cyclonedx-maven-plugin from 2.8.2 to 2.9.0 (This may not be affected.) * UnionMapWriter supports map() https://github.com/apache/arrow/commit/7df47483197186b564a9882ac6d1b5f32b2e3d51 C# NuGets: * Version is "18.0.0-SNAPSHOT" not "18.0.0" * Bump Grpc.Tools from 2.66.0 to 2.67.0 * Have a fix of Flight DoExchange incompatibility https://github.com/apache/arrow/commit/da5a2957accee3ec082199cfa2c305d19d9ada20 MATLAB MLTBX: * Version is "18.0.0-SNAPSHOT" not "18.0.0" Thanks, -- kou
