Hi all, I would like to be the release manager for our next time-based feature release 2.1.0.
The recent Kafka release history can be found at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Future+release+plan. The release plan (with open issues and planned KIPs) for 2.1.0 can be found at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=91554044. Here are the dates we have planned for Apache Kafka 2.1.0 release: 1) KIP Freeze: Sep 24, 2018. A KIP must be accepted by this date in order to be considered for this release) 2) Feature Freeze: Oct 1, 2018 Major features merged & working on stabilization, minor features have PR, release branch cut; anything not in this state will be automatically moved to the next release in JIRA. 3) Code Freeze: Oct 15, 2018 (Tentatively) The KIP and feature freeze date is about 3-4 weeks from now. Please plan accordingly for the features you want push into Apache Kafka 2.1.0 release. Cheers, Dong
