Hi Yufei Oh, don't get me wrong: it's not a blocker, it's just a best effort. If approved in the coming hours, I will include in 1.9.0, else it will be in 1.10.0. I strongly believe the PR is good to go.
In any case, I will start the 1.9.0 release process tomorrow morning my time. Regards JB On Mon, Nov 9, 2026 at 6:55 PM Yufei Gu <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi JB, > > Thanks for the update.
