... took long enough, but finally we are - almost - there. Just one hint for those who want to test: use the release tag URL https://github.com/apache/fineract/tree/1.9.0 to checkout and test. Unfortunately there is a problem currently with the Apache staging environment (refuses to accept our 363MB release distribution for upload... and by default we should be able to upload up to 1GB without a problem). I've tried today the entire day to upload the artifacts, but without success. Have to try again tomorrow. A git clone with the tag URL should be ok too to build and verify.
Note: the release branch "release/1.9.0" is covered by an additional run on Github Actions. See here https://github.com/apache/fineract/branches and click on this entry: [image: image.png] It's hard to see, but this is actually a link and clicking on it shows all results for the automatic checks (unit tests, integration tests etc.) on Github Actions. I have done some manual testing locally with the MariaDB, Kafka + PostgreSQL and ActiveMQ + PostgreSQL configurations; just basic stuff to ensure nothing breaks during startup etc. As James said, it would be great to have some other people check this additionally.
