Release Features
This is a list of key features/improvements/bugfixes that we can include with release notes (WIP):
- Drop support of Java 7 (KIP-118)
- JBOD support for disk failures (KIP-112)
- Kafka Streams API improvements (KIP-120 / 130 / 138 / 150 / 160 / 161), and drop compatibility "Evolving" annotations
How to Contribute
Before code freeze:
- Participate in votes and discussions to land or postpone the open KIPs
- Review patches. We anticipate that this release will be bottlenecked mostly on reviews. The more reviewers, the more content we can fit in.
- Write system tests. We want to preserve the tradition of high-quality releases in Apache Kafka.
After code freeze:
- Test the release candidates
- Open bugs on important issues found
- Fix bugs
- Review bug fixes
- Vote on RCs. Even though only PMC votes are binding, community votes are super important as we evaluate the readiness of the release
