Everyone is free to vote on this release, so dig right in! (Only PMC members have binding votes, but they depend on community feedback to gauge if an official release is ready to be made.) The release artefacts we are voting on are available here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/couchdb/source/3.5.2/rc1/ There, you will find a tarball, a GPG signature, and the SHA256 checksum. Please follow the test procedure here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COUCHDB/Testing+a+Source+Release Please remember that "RC1" is an annotation. If the vote passes, these artefacts will be released as Apache CouchDB 3.5.2 Please cast your votes now. Thanks, -Nick
