[VOTE] Release Apache CouchDB 3.5.3
Dear community,
I would like to propose that we release Apache CouchDB 3.5.3
Candidate release notes:
https://docs.couchdb.org/en/3.5.x/whatsnew/3.5.html
We encourage the whole community to download and test these release
artefacts so that any critical issues can be resolved before the
release is made. Everyone is free to vote on this release, so dig
right in! (Only PMC members have binding votes, but they depend on
community feedback to gauge if an official release is ready to be
made.)
The release artefacts we are voting on are available here:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/couchdb/source/3.5.3/rc1/
There, you will find a tarball, a GPG signature, and the SHA256 checksum.
Please follow the test procedure here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COUCHDB/Testing+a+Source+Release
Please remember that "RC1" is an annotation. If the vote passes, these
artefacts will be released as Apache CouchDB 3.5.3
Please cast your votes now.
Thanks,
-Nick

Thank you, everyone for voting and creating binaries. Unfortunately I
forgot to update our Fauxton dependency. There are a good number of updates
there we missed there. I have since created a new Fauxton 1.3.7 release but
that unfortunately means we'll need an RC2, so cancelling this voting
round. Please stand by for RC2: we'll add the new Fauxton version and maybe
a few other changes (QuickJS updates, etc).
My apologies,
-Nick

Hi Nick,
thank you for putting this together!
Here is my +1:
Sigs check out, build on macOS works.
Convenience binaries are up at:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/couchdb/binary/mac/3.5.3/rc.1/
Note that these are arm64-only for now.
x86_64 builds will be best-effort from here on out as Apple is slowly phasing out that platform.
