I have performed the following checks for this release candidate.

Validation of Release Artifacts Cryptographic Hashes (ASC MD5 SHA1 SHA512) 
PGP Signatures used to sign the release artifacts
Javadocs check
Site docs check was not necessary
Jenkins build was successful.

I used the steps here for the first two checks

I vote +1 on this RC

Was this vote abandoned? If so why?
