Hi everyone, While preparing the release votes, I’ve run into some issues with my code signing keys which is blocking the release validation. Everything should be resolved now, but I need to wait for ASF committer keys directory to update. My apologies for this delay. I will continue with the vote threads tomorrow, once the keys are refreshed and the validation can proceed.

This has been one of the more active code freezes I’ve seen in my time with TinkerPop with folks from several projects getting involved in reviewing the snapshots. I greatly appreciate everyone who has been testing out the changes, providing feedback in Discord, and opening PRs with fixes and improvements. I’ve also had a few folks reach out privately and ask for a bit more time to review all the changes. Given all this activity, I think we would benefit from an extra week for things to settle down and ensure that everyone’s feedback can be properly addressed. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

I haven’t had quite as much time to work through the documentation as I would’ve liked, so I would appreciate the short extension as well. I’ll pencil in Wednesday Nov. 5 as the cutoff for building release artifacts and sending out the vote. Feel free to reach out again if you’d like more time beyond that. Thanks, Cole From: Stephen Mallette <[email protected]> Date: Friday, October 31, 2025 at 4:08 AM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] 3.8.0/3.7.5 Release Normally, I think we'd expect to see release artifacts on Monday after a code freeze. If it's ok with everyone, it would be helpful to get a few extra days before building release artifacts. Still testing some things and could use a bit more time to make sure everything looks good.
