Hello Beam Devs! The 2.54.0 release branch has been cut [0]!
There are 5 outstanding issues to be triaged for 2.54.0 in the release milestones [1] They are presently the following issues: https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/25590 https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/29214 https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/29987 https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/29834 https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/30095 I'll be going through these and determining if they are release blocking, per the release guide [2]. As I stabilize and verify the release branch, I may file additional issues to be resolved before we can cut an RC1. If so, I'll be adding them to this thread. Thank you very much for your cooperation and support.
