As the WRES team, I would like to identify a candidate for github Release v7.4, test it, and if it passes deploy it; candidate RC1: 72c4c1ca639372311f08d543125758abfbcc1cb412c9808335bc172a281dd09e wres-20260327-03cd3ae.zip

• 1 - Tag a commit as staging to kick off pre-release workflow (Pre-release github action; this tests db migration)

I created this as a placeholder for the deployment of 7.4 until we are ready. I don't believe we are ready now.

My pre-deployment testing of the tickets that required it is complete. Additional testing will be done during deployment.

There are a couple of open tickets remaining that James will address, iirc, so I think we ware waiting for him to give the green light to proceed. Evan was going to handle the deployment, itself, while I was going to handle the UAT. I'm out from Friday - Wednesday, so I won't be able to do any UAT until next Thursday, April 2, at the earliest.

Thanks!

Hank

James could you update this ticket when all the changes you wanted in make it in and Ill start the deploy to UAT process at that point

[james-d-brown]

Yes, will do - thanks!

[james-d-brown]

I think we're good to start this whenever you're ready.

[james-d-brown]

Annoying, two new high severity vulns, may as well address those.

[james-d-brown]

Fixed those, so good to go.

[epag]

Sounds good, going to start the deploy up to UAT now
