The difference to the previous RCs is small, you can fetch the tags and do a "git log release-1.8.0-rc1..release-1.8.0-rc5” to see the difference in commits. Its fixes for the issues that led to the cancellation of the previous RCs plus smaller fixes. Most verification/testing that was carried out should apply as is to this RC. Any functional verification that you did on previous RCs should therefore easily carry over to this one. This does add one new feature for the Kafka connector that was on master for quite a while but not on release-1.8 because of discussions. The NOTICE-binary file is updated to reflect the slight change in ordering; shaded-guava now appears at a different part in the dependency tree.
