Dear Apache Flink community, Today was another update and more and more features are moving into the glorious state of “done done”.
*RC0* Xintong did a great job in cutting of the 1.14 branch and releasing the first release candidate that is available [1][2][3][3]. So from now on bug fixes need to go into both master and the release-1.14 branch. They should also be tagged as fixes for 1.14.0 and 1.15.0. Please also check the recently merged PRs. *Gathering user feedback* We have prepared a blogpost [5] that you can share with Apache Flink users that might want to give the first release candidate a go and provide some feedback. Please reach out to users you are in contact with. *Blockers, critical issues, cross-team testing and documentation* We are doing good progress and a lot of issues are actually moving to the right on this board [6]. Please keep the good work up. Thanks for all the effort you all put into this. Best, Xintong, Dawid & Joe [1] https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/flink/flink-1.14.0-rc0/ [2] https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/flink/KEYS [3] https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheflink-1448 [4] https://github.com/apache/flink/releases/tag/release-1.14.0-rc0 <https://github.com/apache/flink/releases/tag/release-1.14.0-rc0> [5] https://flink.apache.org/news/2021/08/31/release-1.14.0-rc0.html [6] https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=468&view=detail&selectedIssue=FLINK-23916
