Hi devs and users, I'd like to share some highlights from Flink 1.17 release sync on 2/28/2023.
Release testing: - All release testing tasks have finished in the last week. Big thanks to our contributors and volunteers for the effort on this! 1.17 Blockers: There are 2 blockers currently: FLINK-31092 / FLINK-31104. We hope that these blockers can be addressed in the next day so we can create the RC later this week. CI Instabilities & other issues: There are two CI instability issues: FLINK-31134 / FLINK-18356. Release management: - Release announcement is under review by release managers. - Tasks related to 1.17 release management are tracked in FLINK-31146. The next release meeting will be on Mar 7, 2023. Feel free to join us! Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/wcx-fjbt-hhz Dial-in: https://tel.meet/wcx-fjbt-hhz?pin=1940846765126 Best regards, Qingsheng, Matthias, Martijn and Leonard
