Hi Everyone, August 4th has arrived! Per previous weekly meetings, I am happy to start the VOTE thread for the Apache Grails (incubating) release of version 7.0.0-RC1! Please note that several fixes have landed from Groovy 4.0.28 that helped the build reproducibility. Here are the current file differences & why they differ on rebuild: 1. grails-cli-7.0.0-RC1-all.jar # caused by extension module merge from the shadowJar (need to strip date from property file) & the plugin.xml signature is being included on accident - Created https://github.com/apache/grails-core/issues/14951 to address this in a future release 2. grails-converters-7.0.0-RC1.jar # contents identical on decompile 3. grails-datamapping-core-test-7.0.0-RC1-tests.jar # contents identical on decompile 4. grails-datamapping-tck-7.0.0-RC1.jar # contents identical on decompile 5. grails-forge-core-7.0.0-RC1-javadoc.jar # due to groovy 3 in forge, we need to update to groovy 4 to fix this Given that these differences are known, explainable, and immaterial, we are moving forward with a release vote. Release notes for the release are here: https://github.com/apache/grails-core/releases/tag/v7.0.0-RC1 The tag for this release is: https://github.com/apache/grails-core/releases/tag/v7.0.0-RC1 Tag commit id: 9f5c12131ce29fc676feeca6d3c9a64e66cd485b The artifacts to be voted on are located as follows (r78548): Source release: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/grails/core/7.0.0-RC1/sources Binary distributions: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/grails/core/7.0.0-RC1/distribution Release artifacts are signed with a key from the following file: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/grails/KEYS Please vote on releasing this package as Apache Grails (incubating) 7.0.0-RC1. Reminder on ASF release approval requirements for PPMC members: https://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#release-approval Hints on validating checksums/signatures (but replace md5sum with sha512sum): https://www.apache.org/info/verification.html Details of our release process are documented at: https://github.com/apache/grails-core/blob/HEAD/RELEASE.md As a reminder, most of our tools support an env `GRAILS_REPO_URL` so that the tools can be used from the staging location. Set it to the staging repo like this: `export GRAILS_REPO_URL=https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging` The vote is open for the next 72 hours and passes if a majority of at least three +1 PPMC votes are cast. [ ] +1 Release Apache Grails (incubating) 7.0.0-RC1 [ ] 0 I don't have a strong opinion about this, but I assume it's ok [ ] -1 Do not release Apache Grails (incubating) 7.0.0-RC1 because... Here is my vote: +1 (binding)
