Details of changes since 3.7.0 are in the release notes:

Site:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/jexl/3.7.1-RC1/site/index.html
(Note some *relative* links are broken and the 3.7.1 directories
are not yet created - these will be OK once the site is deployed.)
*** JApiCmp Report (compared to 3.7.0):
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/jexl/3.7.1-RC1/site/japicmp.html
***
Note that the above report notes several errors.
These are considered OK for the reasons stated below.
These exceptions are also noted in the Changes and Release Notes.
Errors reported:
- methods added to interface: OK because that does not affect
binary compatibility.
- etc.

The following is intended as a helper and refresher for reviewers.
Validating a release candidate
==============================
These guidelines are NOT complete.
Requirements: Git, Java, and Maven.
You can validate a release from a release candidate (RC) tag as follows.
1a) Download and decompress the source archive from:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/jexl/3.7.1-RC1/source
1b) Check out the RC tag from git (optional)
This is optional, as a reviewer must at least check source distributions.
git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/commons-jexl.git
--branch commons-jexl-3.7.1-RC1 commons-jexl-3.7.1-RC1
cd commons-jexl-3.7.1-RC1
2) Checking the build
All components should include a default Maven goal, such that you can
run 'mvn' from the command line by itself.
2) Check Apache licenses
This step is not required if the site includes a RAT report page,
which you then must check.
This check should be included in the default Maven build, but you can
check it with:
mvn apache-rat:check
3) Check binary compatibility
This step is not required if the site includes a JApiCmp report page,
which you then must check.
This check should be included in the default Maven build, but you can
check it with:
mvn verify -DskipTests -P japicmp japicmp:cmp
4) Build the package
This check should be included in the default Maven build, but you can
check it with:
mvn -V clean package
You can record the Maven and Java version produced by -V in your VOTE reply.
To gather OS information from a command line:
Windows: ver
Linux: uname -a
4b) Check reproducibility
To check that a build is reproducible, run:
mvn clean verify artifact:compare -DskipTests
-Dreference.repo=https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/staging/
'-Dbuildinfo.ignore=*/*.spdx.json'
Note that this excludes SPDX files from the check.
5) Build the site for a single module project
Note: Some plugins require the components to be installed instead of packaged.
mvn site
Check the site reports in:
- Windows: target\site\index.html
- Linux: target/site/index.html
