Hi devs,
Here's a TL;DR summary of today's release sync. See the wiki page [1] for
more details.
- Breaking changes
- *All breaking changes* are expected to complete by *Sep 30*. For
anything that may not finish on-time, please reach out to the release
managers.
- Current status: Most are in good progress and will be completed
this week
- Blocker: State of dropping Java 8 support is unclear.
- The release managers have started working on the release announcement
for the preview version, and will soon open a PR for further collecting
contents.
- A dry-run for building the preview release has been conducted.
- We plan to support Kafka connectors in 2.0-preview, a few more
commonly used connectors in 2.0.0, and 80% of first-party connectors in the
following year. A more concrete plan and list is on the way.
- Due to public holidays in China, *there won't be a release sync next
week (Oct 2).*
Best,
Xintong
