Committer

• I acknowledge that I am a maintainer/committer of the Apache Airflow project.

[patgarz]

#37395 confirmed

[jscheffl]

#37063 confirmed.

But I was expecting #37497 also be in 2.8.2 but I miss this in the RC. Mistake or by intend? (then milestone label is not correct)

[andylamp]

#32867 seems to work as expected.

[vchiapaikeo]

#37527 is fine

[Satoshi-Sh]

#37285 confirmed.

[Satoshi-Sh]

In case, someone doesn't not know how to run this version. (I asked Yarek how to do it.)

[amoghrajesh]

Tested my changes

• Fixing status icon alignment for various views #36804 is not working as expected, not sure why. The changes are present here already https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/v2-8-stable/airflow/www/static/js/dag/StatusBox.tsx
• Revoking audit_log permission from all users except admin #37501 needs the FAB provider changes, so we can probably only test it with that. How we do approach such cases @ephraimbuddy? Same applies for Fix failing home view test after changing audit log permissions #37550 and Fix wrong test after fixing audit log permission (Fix wrong test after fixing audit log permission #37547)

@amoghrajesh , the #37501 was cherry-picked differently by @potiuk so it works in 2.8.2 without the provider, you can test it. Please check that the fix works. The same applies to the related PRs.

#36804 is not a blocker. It's minor

[Lee-W]

#37002 confirmed

[amoghrajesh]

@ephraimbuddy Fresh installed the RC again and tested my changes after resetting the DB.

• Revoking audit_log permission from all users except admin #37501 works as expected, a viewer user is not able to see audit logs. (related PRs too)
• Fixing status icon alignment for various views #36804 also works as expected

Btw, this was also cherry picked: #37507 and it works as expected.

[aritra24]

#36692: Confirmed, works as expected now.

[anteverse]

#36855

Tested with 3.11, 3.10, 3.9 & 3.8. Works like a charm.

[potiuk]

Tested and marked all mine (and few others). Checked that release process works now well without flaws (#37633) - found a few small things to correct in verification process - but they are irrelvant for the relase #37656

All looks good!
