Hey everyone, I just cut the 2.53.0 release branch ( https://github.com/apache/beam/tree/release-2.53.0) and will be working on getting the release branch stabilized.
There are two release blockers on the release milestone ( https://github.com/apache/beam/milestone/17) 1. A transform upgrade bug that has a fix in-flight - https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/29730 2. A Python PostCommit failure that has a fix in-flight - https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/29684 I will keep everyone updated as to when we will have an RC ready.
