Release 2021.05.1

[quasiben]

I recall someone saying that we were planning to release this Friday (05-29-2021), is that correct ?

[jrbourbeau]

Yeah, I was planning to open up an issue later today. I'd like to release this Friday if there aren't any blockers

[mrocklin]

I believe that @jrbourbeau is planning this, yes. Thank you for raising the issue Ben.

Thanks for confirming!

[quasiben]

FYI, we responded to a dask-geopandas issue arising because of a PR here: dask/dask#7586 (comment)

Are there other downstream projects we should reach out to regarding this change ?

[jakirkham]

Should add we are working with dask-geopandas on addressing the issue

[jakirkham]

Would it be alright if we start the release in the morning tomorrow?

[jrbourbeau]

Yeah, no problem. I can release tomorrow morning my time (central time zone) -- as normal I'll ping this issue before starting to push things out.

Also, I wanted to flag that we should resolve dask/distributed#4853 (comment) before releasing. FWIW @quasiben and others are working on a fix now

[jakirkham]

We're still encountering an issue with the dashboard changes (even with PR dask/distributed#4860 included). Investigating...

[jrbourbeau]

Alright, thanks for the heads up @jakirkham. If you have a public-facing traceback, CI failure, etc. you could point to, that would be welcome (though no worries if not)

[jrbourbeau]

With dask/distributed#4863 merged in to fix the issue @jakirkham was seeing, I'm going to start releasing

[jrbourbeau]

Closing as 2021.05.1 is out on PyPI, conda-forge, and Docker Hub. Thanks all!
