Hi Bill, One very minor problem I just spotted is https://kafka.apache.org/27/documentation.html#brokerconfigs_listeners, because the <code> tag is not properly closed the HTML doesn't render property (in Chromium and Firefox at least) and all the rest of the configs are shown in a monospaced font. I opened a PR https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/9655, but unless there's some other reason for an RC4 it might be better to just fix the generated HTML for 2.7
Kind regards, Tom On Wed, Nov 25, 2020 at 3:37 PM Bill Bejeck <bbej...@gmail.com> wrote: > This is the fourth candidate for the release of Apache Kafka 2.7.0. > > This is a major release that includes many new features, including: > > * Configurable TCP connection timeout and improve the initial metadata > fetch > * Enforce broker-wide and per-listener connection creation rate (KIP-612, > part 1) > * Throttle Create Topic, Create Partition and Delete Topic Operations > * Add TRACE-level end-to-end latency metrics to Streams > * Add Broker-side SCRAM Config API > * Support PEM format for SSL certificates and private key > * Add RocksDB Memory Consumption to RocksDB Metrics > * Add Sliding-Window support for Aggregations > > This release also includes a few other features, 53 improvements, and 84 > bug fixes. > > Release notes for the 2.7.0 release: > https://home.apache.org/~bbejeck/kafka-2.7.0-rc3/RELEASE_NOTES.html > > *** Please download, test and vote by Wednesday, December 2, 12PM ET > > 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/~bbejeck/kafka-2.7.0-rc3/ > > * Maven artifacts to be voted upon: > https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/org/apache/kafka/ > > * Javadoc: > https://home.apache.org/~bbejeck/kafka-2.7.0-rc3/javadoc/ > > * Tag to be voted upon (off 2.7 branch) is the 2.7.0 tag: > https://github.com/apache/kafka/releases/tag/2.7.0-rc3 > > * Documentation: > https://kafka.apache.org/27/documentation.html > > * Protocol: > https://kafka.apache.org/27/protocol.html > > * Successful Jenkins builds for the 2.7 branch: > Unit/integration tests: (link to follow) > System tests: (link to follow) > > Thanks, > Bill >
