the graph view zoom on the first task , it's super weird

if I unzoom it look better

[antoniocorralsierra]

DagProcess running as standalone process is working fine, the restart have disappeared. Congrats!!

@raphaelauv I think it comes from #29971 which remove the 1.5 max zoomScale cap. (I would say that this is the indented behavior, I agree, it's really big, I'm not a big fan), but the fact that some nodes can be missing from the first focus is not great.

@potiuk @ephraimbuddy @bbovenzi, Should we fix that and go for rc2 ? (I think yes)

I think it is more of an easthetic thing / UX than technical issue. The question is (I have not looked at it yet) - is it something that will happen with every graph every time or only with some almost-empty-non-connected-and-really-non-realistic graphs like this one above? If the former - yes, we should fix it IMHO, if the latter - I think we do not have to fix it.

[hussein-awala]

I tested:

• fix update_mask in patch variable route #29711
• Fix TriggerRuleDep when the mapped tasks count is 0 #30084

and they both work as expected.

But I agree with @raphaelauv about the graph default zoom level, it's weird and annoying.

The question is (I have not looked at it yet) - is it something that will happen with every graph every time or only with some almost-empty-non-connected-and-really-non-realistic graphs like this one above?

@potiuk it's the former, I have this zoom level on all the graphs for all the dag and dag runs. IMO we should fix it and go for rc2.

[potiuk]

@potiuk it's the former, I have this zoom level on all the graphs for all the dag and dag runs. IMO we should fix it and go for rc2

Then yes.

Then yes.

Agree too

[bbovenzi]

Fix: #30355

[pierrejeambrun]

Due to the graph zoom issue in rc1, rc2 has been made. I think we can safely assume that what was tested for rc1 is still working in rc2. Feel free to do more testing. The issue has been updated to target 2.5.3rc2

[potiuk]

• Remove accidentally merged vendor daemon patch code #29895: fine - the files are not there after installations

• Fix proper termination of gunicorn when it hangs #30188: hard to test that one but basic killing works (and I have not seen a single flaky failure in our CI because of this one) . I am a bit surprised though I do not see Fix process killing with subprocess API (Fix process killing with subprocess API #30207)

• which is actually a fix to my fix - neither on the list of issues here nor in release notes. The change is cherry-picked and technically it's a fix to a fix, so no big deal. Just wonder how it was lost from both release notes and issue status here.

• Revert "Also limit importlib on Python 3.9 (#30069)" #30209 -> correct. METADATA is good now: Requires-Dist: importlib-metadata (<5.0.0,>=1.7) ; python_version < "3.9"

[josh-fell]

#30131 Looks good.

Thanks for organizing @pierrejeambrun!

[pierrejeambrun]

Thanks to everyone that helped testing 2.5.3rc1 and 2.5.3rc2. 🙏

Closing as 2.5.3 has been released based on 2.5.3rc2 🎉
