Hello everyone, Calling for a vote on the release of Apache SpamAssassin 4.0.0 I noticed that the official guidelines on the release process https://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#policy say that they encourage the votes include the dev community. It also says that making the release files available to readers of the developer mailing list does not violate the rules against publishing them prior to the release vote. Only votes from members of the PMC will be binding, but everyone is encouraged to thoroughly test that these files properly install and pass the make test checks on your platform and any other tests that you can perform. Here are the files that will be released as Apache SpamAssassin 4.0.0 if there are at least three binding +1 votes and more +1 votes than -1 binding votes at the end of the 72 hour voting period, Saturday, December 17, 2022 09:00am UTC. Note that the policy on voting for releases is not the same as for voting for code committing where a single binding -1 is a veto. Files are in https://people.apache.org/~sidney/devel/ The only code change since the release of 4.0.0-rc4 has been the commit in Bug 8087 https://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&rev=1905867 As per https://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#release-approval please download and check the files on your platform(s) before voting +1 if you approve the release, or -1 and state a technical reason why these files are not ready for release. The current draft of the release announcement can be seen at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/trunk/build/announcements/4.0.0.txt I vote +1 for the release after checking on Ubuntu 22.04, macOS 13, macOS 12, and Windows 10. sha256sum of archive files: e5aa17050a30bc72baa86afdc6048cadea4d1ec2ecc61d787717a059b8319e88 Mail-SpamAssassin-4.0.0.tar.bz2 65979da7d103e3c37563f23a1a24f470090afb33664348968a00bf3d09a84f36 Mail-SpamAssassin-4.0.0.tar.gz 063d59ab2c7a67c1707b5b6a6063f97bdc9e3e8ae1246f1d43aa3dd32bf35d06 Mail-SpamAssassin-4.0.0.zip ae4ffbb917ebc7fefa7240fc5bb5151dda663f8e4059161ad7c9b42eed1bac6d Mail-SpamAssassin-rules-4.0.0.r1905950.tgz sha512sum of archive files: a0fe5f6953c9df355bfa011e8a617101687eb156831a057504656921fe76c2a4eb37b5383861aac579e66a20c4454068e81a39826a35eb0266148771567bad5f Mail-SpamAssassin-4.0.0.tar.bz2 db8e5d0249d9fabfa89bc4c7309a7eafd103ae07617ed9bd32e6b35473c5efc05b1a913b4a3d4bb0ff19093400e3510ae602bf9e96290c63e7946a1d0df6de47 Mail-SpamAssassin-4.0.0.tar.gz d907d59fd6af1560b0817d5397affeb096feaffd01614481b22a172976798f0ab438a7fb4d6878dfbb8338961f888dd69c2f7d9e743a48164e2842fa6f804571 Mail-SpamAssassin-4.0.0.zip 8ff0e68e18dc52a88fec83239bb9dc3a1d34f2dcb4c03cd6c566b97fa91242e3c8d006612aeb4df0acf43929eaaa59d542eb5cf904498343adf5eadefcb89255 Mail-SpamAssassin-rules-4.0.0.r1905950.tgz Regards, Sidney Markowitz Chair, Apache SpamAssassin PMC sid...@apache.org sid...@sidney.com
