+1 (non-binding) - verified checksums and signatures of the source and binary tarballs - checked the source tarball matches the release-3.7.0-rc1 tag - checked LICENSE and NOTICE files are included - checked the source tarball contains no unexpected binary files or SNAPSHOT dependencies - built from source with JDK 11 + Flink 1.20.3 and JDK 17 + Flink 2.2.0 - ran all tests for the snapshot split metadata release option on both builds (incremental source framework, MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle and Db2), including the failover cases - ran a MySQL to Values YAML pipeline with both binary packages on local Flink 1.20.3 and 2.2.0 clusters, with metadata release enabled (released as expected after entering the binlog phase) - checked the Maven staging repository: all deployable modules are staged for both 3.7.0-1.20 and 3.7.0-2.2, and every jar and pom has a valid signature and matching checksums - checked the release notes - reviewed the web PR
Found a small JIRA issue (non-blocking): 9 issues in the release blog are not tagged cdc-3.7.0, so they are missing from the JIRA release notes: FLINK-39252, FLINK-39732, FLINK-39759, FLINK-34806, FLINK-39757, FLINK-40411, FLINK-40623, FLINK-40690, FLINK-40739. Three of them (FLINK-39252, FLINK-39732, FLINK-39759) are tagged cdc-3.6.0 instead, and four (FLINK-34806, FLINK-40623, FLINK-40690, FLINK-40739) are also still open although their PRs are merged. It would be good to update them before the release is announced. Thanks Xiqian for driving this release!
