Release (off cycle)

[mrocklin]

Hi All,

There was a stability bug that was recently fixed. Do we want to do a release this Friday to get this out there? cc @fjetter @jrbourbeau?

Also cc @quasiben so RAPIDS is in the loop.

[jakirkham]

We've already pinned Dask for the upcoming RAPIDS release. So probably won't change that (depending on what bug fix is referred to)

[quasiben]

Can you link to the issue ?

[jrbourbeau]

dask/distributed#5103

[jrbourbeau]

No strong opinion from me either way. I'm happy to push out a release tomorrow if there aren't known blockers (I'm not currently aware of any).

It would be good to get dask/dask#7956 and dask/dask#7939 in before the next release. I'm planning to merge both those PRs shortly. What about dask/distributed#5141? @mrocklin @jakirkham are we comfortable including that too?

[jakirkham]

Sure I think we should have some fix for the other side of the OpenSSL bug. Agree Matt's solution seems reasonable

[jrbourbeau]

Alright, all the mentioned PRs have been merged. Let's plan to release tomorrow unless any objections arise between now and then. Also cc'ing @jsignell for visibility

[fjetter]

There is also dask/distributed#5128 which should be ready to merge and fixes another deadlock

[jrbourbeau]

Alright, I'm going to start pushing out the release...

Closing as 2021.07.2 is out. Thanks all!
