Note that: 1. The notebook for voting is not yet ready since we have another concurrent vote for Sedona 1.5.2-rc2. In a few days, I will follow up with another email once the notebook is ready. Meanwhile, if you want, you can go ahead and follow the steps to check the release locally. 2. Since Sedona 1.6.0, Sedona requires Java 11 (was Java 8 before) to compile. Please check if your local maven uses Java 11 (mvn --version). If it is not 11, please read here to change it to Java 11: https://github.com/apache/sedona/blob/master/docs/community/release-manager.md [ ] +1 approve [ ] +0 no opinion [ ] -1 disapprove with the reason Checklist: [ ] Download links are valid.
