-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Many thanks to everyone involved in the release!
Please let me share two comments: One, there's a typo on the Downloads page [1] for the text of the source download link: It incorrectly says "kafka-0.8.0-src.tgz" instead of "kafka-0.8.1-src.tgz". (the hyperlink target/href is correct though) Two, this release is the first time that the project provides binary downloads for Scala versions other than 2.8.0. Wouldn't it make sense to add a short note which of the binary versions (Scala 2.8.0, 2.8.2, 2.9.1, 2.9.2, 2.10) is the recommended version, and also why? Right now I assume that the 2.8.0 version is still recommended one (and still used in production at LinkedIn)? Again, many thanks for the release!
