@hcho3 Does it affect the 2.1 branch?

Oct 12 '24 20:10 trivialfis

Is the JVM rewrite part of 2.1.2 ?

Oct 12 '24 21:10 hcho3

No. It's a patch release for bug fixes.

@trivialfis Does this release also include https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/pull/10527?

@hcho3 Could you please help take a look into the new release script, I'm running into:

twine check /home/jiamingy/workspace/xgboost_dev/xgboost/python-package/dist/xgboost-2.1.2.tar.gz
ERROR    InvalidDistribution: Cannot find file (or expand pattern):                                                       '/home/jiamingy/workspace/xgboost_dev/xgboost/python-package/dist/xgboost-2.1.2.tar.gz'

when doing twine check.

In addition, this line is not needed, the url uses the full branch name.

NVM, I think I didn't update the tag correctly.

Oct 23 '24 06:10 trivialfis

Done.
