Suggested tests: * Grab the source archive and make sure it compiles * Grab one of the binary distros and run the quickstarts against them * Extract and verify one of the site docs jars * Build a sample against jars in the staging repo * Validate GPG signatures on at least one file * Validate the javadocs look ok * The 0.10.2 documentation was updated for this bugfix release (especially upgrade, streams and connect portions) - please make sure it looks ok: http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html But above all, try to avoid finding new bugs - we want to get this release out the door already :P Thanks, Gwen -- *Gwen Shapira* Product Manager | Confluent 650.450.2760 | @gwenshap Follow us: Twitter <https://twitter.com/ConfluentInc> | blog <http://www.confluent.io/blog>
