Hi All, Bye Java 8, welcome Java 11. If a couple of words to describe this release are needed this will be it. The team has worked hard on moving away from java 8 to java 11 and I think we have achieved this goal, I would like to thank everyone that contributed to this release. Due to the Java upgrade and some API changes we decided to use a Major release for this.
But that is not all... A couple of extra highlights for this release are: - Chinese translations - Formula Transform using Apache POI formulas - Beam Upgrade - Avro output transform - Variable annotations in the code - Drools Rule Accumulator - Apache Doris Bulk loader - Many other bug fixes and improvements (a full list can be found on jira as always) Please give the build a try and cast your vote to release this code.
