Hi Yang, Thanks for putting together the releases. I've reviewed the documentation, run validate-distribution.sh, and done some basic testing of the binary distributions. It all looks good to me.
I want to call attention to one peculiarity which is the GLV actions failures in GitHub for the 3.8.1 tag. This is due to a mistake in the GHA job definitions, which are trying to fetch modules from maven central which have not yet been published. This is a mistake in the actions configuration, not the build itself, and I have manually verified the tests are all passing. There is an open PR to fix the job definitions which I would like to merge once branches reopen. https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/3378. Once the release is complete, we can rerun the actions for the tag and they will pass. My vote is VOTE +1 Thanks, Cole On 2026/04/01 23:40:25 Yang Xia wrote: > Hello, > > We are happy to announce that TinkerPop 3.8.1 is ready for release. > > The release artifacts can be found at this location: > https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/tinkerpop/3.8.1/ > > The source distribution is provided by: > apache-tinkerpop-3.8.1-src.zip > > Two binary distributions are provided for user convenience: > apache-tinkerpop-gremlin-console-3.8.1-bin.zip > apache-tinkerpop-gremlin-server-3.8.1-bin.zip > > The GPG key used to sign the release artifacts is available at: > https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/tinkerpop/KEYS > > The online docs can be found here: > https://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/3.8.1/ (user docs) > https://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/3.8.1/upgrade/ (upgrade docs) > https://tinkerpop.apache.org/javadocs/3.8.1/core/ (core javadoc) > https://tinkerpop.apache.org/javadocs/3.8.1/full/ (full javadoc) > https://tinkerpop.apache.org/dotnetdocs/3.8.1/ (.NET API docs) > https://tinkerpop.apache.org/jsdocs/3.8.1/ (Javascript API docs) > > The Git tag can be found here: > https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/tree/3.8.1 > > The release notes are available here: > https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/blob/3.8.1/CHANGELOG.asciidoc > > The [VOTE] will be open for the next 72 hours --- closing Saturday (April 4, > 2026) at 17:00 PDT (UTC-7). > > My vote is +1. > > Thank you very much, > Yang Xia >
