I've prepared a preliminary blog post about the upcoming Apache Kafka 2.6.0 release. Please take a look and let me know via this thread if you want to add/modify details. Thanks to all who contributed to this blog post.
Unfortunately, the preview is not currently publicly visible at https://blogs.apache.org/preview/kafka/?previewEntry=what-s-new-in-apache3 (I've logged https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-20646), so in the interest of time I created a Google doc with read privilege for everyone by pasting the preview content directly into: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MQQoJk4ewedYgFfgSA2axx3VhRwgj_0rO1tf3yezV0c/edit?usp=sharing I will continue to update this doc with any changes to the draft blog post. Thanks, Randall
