Protobuf is releasing a new version 5.26.0 with a breaking change. It will check the timestamp values and raise an error for out of bound values.

Apache Beam Python SDK depends on google-api-core that has dependency of protobuf<5. Apache Beam will prefer to upgrade to this new version of protobuf whenever it is out.

What are the plans/timeline to release new version of google-api-core with support for protobuf 5.26.0?
