Codeowner Actions

Tick each box once done. Ticking the last box — "The release is ready for Release Management review" — starts the Release Management review.

• Update the CHANGELOG

  What to do:

  • Copy all API-consumer-relevant changes from the provided list into the appropriate Breaking changes / Added / Changed / Fixed / Removed sections for each API. List breaking changes both in Breaking changes and in their normal change category.
  • Do not copy administrative, tooling-only, or internal maintenance changes unless they affect API consumers.
  • For each API, fill the CHANGELOG against the stated comparison target, following the release-type rules at the top of the CHANGELOG.

• Document deferred validation warnings (and hints)

  What to do:

  • Check the CAMARA Validation comment on this PR for warnings and hints.
  • For each warning you do not fix, document it in an issue: include a copy of the validation summary line(s) and the reason the fix is deferred.
  • Document in the same way any validation hint that is applicable to the API and needs to be fixed later.
  • You may group several findings into one issue or split them across issues — either is fine.
  • List the documenting issue(s) in a comment on this PR.
  • Note: documenting deferred warnings is optional but recommended for alpha pre-releases, and mandatory for rc pre-releases and public releases.

• The release is ready for Release Management review

  Check that:

  • All mandatory release assets for the declared status(es) are present (see the table below "Required release assets per API status" by expanding the arrow);
  • API documentation and test cases are adequate for the target status.

  Tick this box to confirm readiness and to start the Release Management review.

Deferred validation findings documented in #422 — G-004 (53 scenarios exceed maximum of 50 in geofencing-subscriptions.feature; deferred to future test-plan reorganization) and S-313 hints (string properties referenced from CAMARA shared artifacts via ; no fix applicable in this repository).

Hi @hdamker, this is the regenerated snapshot

[hdamker]

Verified #424 is correctly reflected in this snapshot's bundle — the local x-correlator param/header in geofencing-subscriptions.yaml now matches the common component exactly, no x-correlator-2 rename in any of the three bundled API files. Deferred findings from #422 (G-004, S-313) are unchanged from the last run. CHANGELOG matches the stated comparison targets. Approving from Release Management.

@camaraproject/release-management_reviewers , there are still some unmarked checkboxes under "The following actions and checks are done by a Release Management reviewer before approving the PR:", but @hdamker approved, is there anything pending before we can merge? Thanks

[hdamker]

there are still some unmarked checkboxes

@jlurien just overseen by me ... should have checked them off before approving. Looks good to merge, nothing open from my perspective.
