List of API breaking changes

• 3c236b2c89ed84cded0d056ac40fc728089c6f67 changes the signature of the Scala DataSet API's ExecutionEnvironment.fromCollection() method and breaks binary compatibility.
• 06b37bf550315bd1d5be7dc3ed6638fd21768e1a removes JDBC Input/OutputFormats for the deprecated Record API
  
• bac21bf5d77c8e15c608ecbf006d29e7af1dd68a:
  • Return value of addSink in DataStream API is no longer a DataStream but a DataStreamSink
  • Forward shipping is not legal when the parallelism of the operations differ
