I would like to propose that we release Apache CouchDB 3.4.0.
This is RC2. Many thanks to Jan for discovering and reporting the
issue with the RC1.
Changes since the last round:
https://github.com/apache/couchdb/compare/3.4.0-RC1...3.4.0-RC2
Candidate release notes:
https://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/whatsnew/3.4.html
We encourage the whole community to download and test these release
artefacts so that any critical issues can be resolved before the
release is made. Everyone is free to vote on this release, so dig
right in! (Only PMC members have binding votes, but they depend on
community feedback to gauge if an official release is ready to be
made.)
The release artefacts we are voting on are available here:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/couchdb/source/3.4.0/rc2/
There, you will find a tarball, a GPG signature, and a SHA256 checksum.
Please follow the test procedure here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COUCHDB/Testing+a+Source+Release
Since the last RC, the procedures were just updated to include testing
various new features such as Nouveau and QuickJS.
Please remember that "RC2" is an annotation. If the vote passes, these
artefacts will be released as Apache CouchDB 3.4.0.
Please cast your votes now.
Thank you,
-Nick
