Hey all, I'm rerunning this vote <https://lists.apache.org/thread/r32knty7pob6fy0wjqccbjwxd7w803xf> because the previous RC was incomplete: the required ASF source release artifact ( apache-airflow-providers-2026-06-26-source.tar.gz, along with its .asc and .sha512 files) was accidentally omitted from the dev distribution directory. The missing artifacts have now been uploaded, so this vote supersedes the previous one.
If you have already voted in the previous vote, I'll appreciate if you could vote here as well (PMC - please rerun the entire verification process again). I am rerunning the vote for the Airflow Providers packages with release preparation date 2026-06-26. This email is calling a vote on the release, which will last for 72 hours - which means that it will end on 2026-07-02 19:00 UTC and until 3 binding +1 votes have been received. Consider this my (binding) +1. The packages included in this release, and the main reason for including them, are detailed as follows: - Spark - rc1 was rejected due to an ongoing refactoring effort; that refactor has since been completed. - Kubernetes - bugs introduced by the move to kubernetes client v36 in the last release (10.18.0), fixed in this RC. - Google - bug fix for the same kubernetes client v36 incompatibility; the fix is backward-compatible (works on client v35 and v36). - FAB & Keycloak - revert the airflowctl changes released in the last wave (https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/68856). Keycloak additionally includes a fix for missing Keycloak resources being treated as access-denied (#68951). - Celery - adding a worker multiprocessing start-method config to curb the memory regression (https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/69015). Part of Airflow 3.3 readiness effort. Airflow Providers are available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/providers/2026-06-26 *apache-airflow-providers-2026-06-26-source.tar.gz* is the full source tarball of airflow repo - snapshot taken at the moment of provider's release. *apache-airflow-providers-<PROVIDER>-*.tar.gz* are the convenience python "sdist" distributions that we publish in PyPI *apache_airflow_providers_<PROVIDER>-*.whl are the convenience Python "wheel" distributions that we publish in PyPI. The test procedure for PMC members is described in https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_PROVIDERS.md#verify-the-release-candidate-by-pmc-members The test procedure for and Contributors who would like to test this RC is described in: https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_PROVIDERS.md#verify-the-release-candidate-by-contributors Public keys are available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/airflow/KEYS Please vote accordingly: [ ] +1 approve [ ] +0 no opinion [ ] -1 disapprove with the reason Only votes from PMC members are binding, but members of the community are encouraged to test the release and vote with "(non-binding)". Please note that the version number excludes the 'rcX' string. This will allow us to rename the artifact without modifying the artifact checksums when we actually release it. The status of testing the providers by the community is kept here (unchanged from original vote): https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/69049 The issue is also the easiest way to see important PRs included in the RC candidates. Detailed changelog for the providers will be published in the documentation after the RC candidates are released.
