Description

Several things went wrong sadly with this release

- broken publishing code (not updated to use zst/new tarball layout) #26810
- bad attempt at resolving
- Docker repeatedly hanging #26634
- publishing docs is not idempotent #26811
- mobile CI dying on release PR #26912
- github dying while resolving release
- last minute blockers
- very slow (pre-) release CI from caching issues #26797
- (new) branch reopening code failed #26812
- CI times out on coverage on first run after VERSION.txt changes #26818

the release has published succesfully now with some manual intervention

on a positive note, the release CI itself is now very fast
