@alamb the planned release date is incorrect, but I can't figure which date you wanted to use. I assume 2022-08-01?

Yes, thank you @nevi-me . I have updated the date.

Updated the dates to reflect release candidate of tomorrow (July 8) and release July 11, per our normal schedule.

Looks like #1995 introduced an API change, so we will be releasing a new major version
