Hello all, we identified around three dozen bug fixes, including an update of a third party dependency, and wanted to release a patch release for the Apache Kafka 2.2.0 release.
This is the *second* candidate for release of Apache Kafka 2.2.2. (RC1 did not include a fix for https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9053, but the fix appeared before RC1 was announced so it was easier to just create RC2.) Check out the release notes for a complete list of the changes in this release candidate: https://home.apache.org/~rhauch/kafka-2.2.2-rc2/RELEASE_NOTES.html *** Please download, test and vote by Wednesday, October 30, 9am PT> Kafka's KEYS file containing PGP keys we use to sign the release: https://kafka.apache.org/KEYS * Release artifacts to be voted upon (source and binary): https://home.apache.org/~rhauch/kafka-2.2.2-rc2/ * Maven artifacts to be voted upon: https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/org/apache/kafka/ * Javadoc: https://home.apache.org/~rhauch/kafka-2.2.2-rc2/javadoc/ * Tag to be voted upon (off 2.2 branch) is the 2.2.2 tag: https://github.com/apache/kafka/releases/tag/2.2.2-rc2 * Documentation: https://kafka.apache.org/22/documentation.html * Protocol: https://kafka.apache.org/22/protocol.html * Successful Jenkins builds for the 2.2 branch: Unit/integration tests: https://builds.apache.org/job/kafka-2.2-jdk8/1/ System tests: https://jenkins.confluent.io/job/system-test-kafka/job/2.2/216/ /************************************** Thanks, Randall Hauch
