%%% Start comment This announcement has been rejected because it does not conform to release announcement requirements.
Specifically, there must be a link in the announcement to the downloads page, not to the dyn/closer page. Downloads must be mirrored from the official Apache distribution site, not from github or other site. Please change the downloads page and resubmit the announcement. Regards, Craig Announcements of Apache project releases must contain a link to the relevant download page, which might be hosted on an Apache site or a third party site such as github.com. [1] The download page must provide public download links where current official source releases and accompanying cryptographic files may be obtained. [2] Links to the download artifacts must support downloads from mirrors. Links to metadata (SHA, ASC) must be from https://www.apache.org/dist/<project>/<release> ** MD5 is no longer considered useful and should not be used. SHA is required. ** Links to KEYS must be from https://www.apache.org/dist/<project>/ not release specific. Announcements that contain a link to the dyn/closer page alone will be rejected by the moderators. Announcements that contain a link to a web page that does not include a link to a mirror to the artifact plus links to the signature and at least one sha checksum will be rejected. Announcements that link to dist.apache.org will not be accepted. Likewise ones which link to SVN or Git code repos.
