I have a kind request for all the contributors to the latest provider distributions release.
Could you please help us to test the RC versions of the providers?

The guidelines on how to test providers can be found in

I have successfully tested all my changes with Airflow==3.1.3:

#57541 ✅
#57894 ✅

I installed the pre-release provider packages and ran some DAGs. They successfully sent asynchronous notifications for Apprise and Slack.

They have the correct dependency now apache-airflow-providers-common-compat>=1.9.0

Thanks for the great support in fixing the dependency, adding automation in Breeze, and opening this new round of provider release 🙏
