    No issues found from my testing of #73116 and #74244 against Airflow core (3.4.0rc1) / task-sdk (1.4.0rc1) with Python 3.11 in Breeze, both work as expected.

    • Artifacts: Verified that both the core and Task SDK wheels have no remaining httpx imports and use httpx2 in every migrated module. Task SDK metadata requires httpx2 + truststore and no longer certifi (expected, as per the httpx2 docs here).
    • Task SDK client works for both HTTP and HTTPS: ran a test dag using Variable/Connection/XCom API calls and a deferrable task succeeded E2E for both protocols (the latter was run with the API server on a self-signed [api] ssl_cert).
    • airflow-core in-process transports: tested the following without error:
      1. task execution in airflow dags test
      2. dag-processor parse-time Variable.get API calls
      3. a trigger reading a API-based Variable GET.
      4. local CLI commands along with the JWKS fetch (local HTTP and public HTTPS).
    • truststore TLS matrix (private CA, Linux): [api] ssl_ca_file is trusted. An unknown CA is rejected. A CA added to the system store is trusted via truststore, both by the SDK client and by bare httpx2. client_use_public_certs=False with ssl_ca_file still works.
    • httpx2 request lines do not leak into task logs.

    Did not test: macOS/Windows truststore behaviour described in the significant newsfragment, since this was Linux only.

    I found a scheduler crash on Postgres that looks related to #70972.

    Since #70972, asset_dag_run_queue keeps one row for each asset event. When the scheduler creates an asset-triggered run, it puts all queued rows of the Dag into one IN (...). With many rows, Postgres rejects the statement. The scheduler exits, and it fails again on each restart. Then no Dag gets scheduled.

    What I saw on apache/airflow:3.4.0rc1 with Postgres 16. I sent the events with POST /api/v2/assets/events.

    • A Dag with schedule=[a, b] and 9,000 queued events fails with stack depth limit exceeded.
    • A single-asset Dag with [scheduler] batch_asset_events = True waits at max_active_runs while events arrive. With 9,000 queued events, it fails with the same error.
    • A single-asset Dag with default settings and 66,199 queued events fails with number of parameters must be between 0 and 65535.

    On 3.3.2, the same [a, b] Dag with 33,500 events works fine.

    Please let us know by checking the box / commenting if the change is addressed in the latest RC.

    @vatsrahul1001 Both of my changes work as expected in 3.4.0rc1, compared against 3.3.2.

    #71529: with OTEL_CONFIG_FILE set, a real scheduler now exports through the file's exporter and view. 3.3.2 discards them.

    #71251: with only PyMySQL installed, db migrate and a Dag run succeed on MySQL 8.4. 3.3.2 raises the mysqlclient RuntimeError.

    Evidence

    apache-airflow 3.4.0rc1 and task-sdk 1.4.0rc1 from PyPI with the 3.4.0rc1 constraints file, Python 3.12, macOS arm64. The control is apache-airflow 3.3.2, the latest 3.3.x release.

    71529: opentelemetry-instrument airflow scheduler for 35 s with otel_on=True and an OTEL_CONFIG_FILE that declares a console exporter and a *_duration view with explicit bounds.

    3.3.2     console exports: 0
          [error] Failed to export metrics batch code: None, reason: Failed to parse: http://None:None/v1/metrics
3.4.0rc1  console exports: 9
          [info] OTEL_CONFIG_FILE is set; using the MeterProvider it built.
          airflow.scheduler.scheduler_loop_duration  explicit_bounds=[0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8]  bucket_counts=[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5]
          same bounds on critical_section_duration, critical_section_query_duration, executor_heartbeat_duration

    The repro script from the PR (bootstrap, then get_otel_logger()):

    3.3.2     declarative views: ['None']        same provider object? False   RESULT: declarative view was DISCARDED
3.4.0rc1  declarative views: ['*_duration']  same provider object? True    RESULT: declarative view survived

    Without OTEL_CONFIG_FILE the re-init path is unchanged on both versions: the provider is replaced and a post-fork counter still exports.

    71251: MySQL 8.4.13 on localhost, PyMySQL 1.1.3 and aiomysql installed, mysqlclient not installed.

    3.3.2     $ airflow db migrate
          RuntimeError: You do not have `mysqlclient` package installed. Please install it with `pip install mysqlclient` ...
3.4.0rc1  $ airflow db migrate
          [info] Running stamp_revision  -> b4f1a7d2c903
          [info] Database migration done!
          $ airflow db check
          [info] Connection successful.
          $ airflow standalone, then airflow dags trigger mysql_smoke (two tasks passing an XCom)
          DagRun Finished: dag_id=mysql_smoke, ..., run_duration=2.945011, state=success

    Neither driver installed, 3.4.0rc1:

    RuntimeError: You have a MySQL connection string but neither `mysqlclient` nor `PyMySQL` is installed. Install one of them, ...

    Both drivers installed, 3.4.0rc1 with mysqlclient 2.3.0: airflow db check prints "Connection successful." with both mysql+mysqldb and mysql+pymysql URLs.

    All looks good.
