Hi Everyone, It seems everyone agrees on releasing 1.4 soon (see "Releasing Flink 1.4" thread). As discussed we will set a tight feature-freeze date of October 31st, after that I will cut a release branch and we we will only merge bug fixes to the release branch starting from that. This will give us ample time for testing the release to ensure a smooth end-of-november release.
There is a Kanban board that can be used to track the blocking issues for this release: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=205. Please make sure that any bugs you consider blocking are marked as such so that they appear in this view. Thanks, Aljoscha
