+1 (binding) I did find some minor issues though, please see below. I would really suggest to start maintaining a RELEASE_NOTES file. I usually have a look at this in order to see what to expect of the new release.
Chris [OK] Download all staged artifacts under the url specified in the release vote email into a directory we’ll now call download-dir. [MINOR] Verify the signature is correct: Additional Apache tutorial on how to verify downloads can be found here. - No trusted Key-chain (might think about going to a key-signing party) [OK] Check if the signature references an Apache email address. [OK] Verify the SHA512 hashes: [OK] Unzip the archive: [MINOR] Verify the existence of DISCLAIMER, LICENSE, NOTICE, README, RELEASE_NOTES files in the extracted source bundle. - No RELEASE_NOTES [OK] Verify the content of LICENSE, NOTICE, README, RELEASE_NOTES files in the extracted source bundle. [OK] Run RAT externally (without any exclusions) to ensure there are no surprises. [OK] Search for SNAPSHOT references: [MINOR] Search for Copyright references, and if they are in headers, make sure these files containing them are mentioned in the LICENSE file. - Some files listed in LICENSE moved from daffodil-test/src/test/resources/org/apache/daffodil/ibm-tests/ to daffodil-test-ibm1/src/test/resources/test-suite/ibm-contributed/ without being updated in the LICENSE file - dpaspc7131.dfdl.xsd - dpaspc7132.dfdl.xsd - dpaspc7132_2.dfdl.xsd [OK] Build the project according to the information in the README.md file.

This is gating their release of a system that uses Daffodil. Please review this latest incubator release of Daffodil. Thank you ________________________________ From: Mike Beckerle <mbecke...@apache.org> Sent: Monday, July 6, 2020 11:45 AM To: general@incubator.apache.org <general@incubator.apache.org> Subject: [VOTE] Release Apache Daffodil (incubating) 2.7.0-rc2 The Apache Daffodil community has voted and approved the proposed release of Apache Daffodil (incubating) 2.7.0-rc2. We now kindly request the Incubator PMC members review and vote on this incubator release. Daffodil is an open source implementation of the DFDL specification that uses DFDL schemas to parse fixed format data into an infoset, which is most commonly represented as either XML or JSON. This allows the use of well-established XML or JSON technologies and libraries to consume, inspect, and manipulate fixed format data in existing solutions. Daffodil is also capable of the reverse by serializing or "unparsing" an XML or JSON infoset back to the original data format.
