Hi everyone,
Please review and vote on the release candidate #3 for the version 1.2.3, as follows:
[ ] +1, Approve the release
[ ] -1, Do not approve the release (please provide specific comments)

The complete staging area is available for your review, which includes:

• JIRA release notes [1],
• the official Apache source release and binary convenience releases to be deployed to dist.apache.org [2], which are signed with the key with fingerprint FFFFFFFF [3],
• all artifacts to be deployed to the Maven Central Repository [4],
• source code tag "release-1.2.3-rc3" [5],
• website pull request listing the new release and adding announcement blog post [6].

The vote will be open for at least 72 hours. It is adopted by majority approval, with at least 3 PMC affirmative votes.

Thanks,
Release Manager

If there are any issues found in the release candidate, reply on the vote thread to cancel the vote. There’s no need to wait 72 hours. Proceed to the Fix Issues step below and address the problem. However, some issues don’t require cancellation. For example, if an issue is found in the website pull request, just correct it on the spot and the vote can continue as-is.

For cancelling a release, the release manager needs to send an email to the release candidate thread, stating that the release candidate is officially cancelled. Next, all artifacts created specifically for the RC in the previous steps need to be removed:

• Delete the staging repository in Nexus
• Remove the source / binary RC files from dist.apache.org
• Delete the source code tag in git

If there are no issues, reply on the vote thread to close the voting. Then, tally the votes in a separate email. Here’s an email template; please adjust as you see fit.
