Airflow 3.4 reaches its first release candidate, a week after the 10-20 provider wave.

◆Current state
Airflow published constraints for 3.4.0rc1 on Oct 28, which means core 3.4 has moved from beta to release candidate. The surrounding activity is the 2026-10-20 provider batch (Snowflake 6.20, SMTP 3.2, OpenSearch 1.15, OpenAI 2.2, Standard 1.21 and others), all published without release notes, plus a TypeScript SDK 1.0.0-beta1.
◆Where it's heading
Core 3.4 is following the usual beta-to-RC path while providers ship on their own batch schedule. The TypeScript SDK beta and the common-ai provider suggest Airflow is widening who can author tasks, though the feed shows tags rather than feature notes.
◆Prediction
Expect further 3.4.0 release candidates and then a 3.4.0 final within a few weeks; the entries don't show which features anchor it.
