+1 In case it's useful here's the steps I took to validate this:
* Validated all signatures * Validated the tag and commit * Confirmed "go build" worked without issue * Confirmed "go test" passed * Ran a simple test app (accessing and printing release_version on system.local) using the downloaded tarball as the gocql module On Tue, Oct 7, 2025 at 11:06 AM João Reis <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry for the late reply, verifying the signature files is always > recommended but that's already something people should be familiar with > coming from other subprojects (or the main project).
