Hi team, Thanks to everyone's help, only a handful of tickets are pending for the 1.42.0 release [1]. I am planning to cut the first release candidate on May 27 and hopefully by then all the necessary issues will be resolved.
You can find the tentative release notes in [2]. Feel free to review them and leave your comments. I will update the PR accordingly with the last few issues that will be resolved between now and Wednesday. I encourage everyone to start testing version 1.42.0 in downstream projects so that we avoid going through multiple RC votes.
