Hi Everyone, I finally branched of the release-1.4 branch and opened a PR to update the master version to 1.5-SNAPSHOT [1]. Thanks a lot to everyone for working very hard on quickly burning down remaining blockers and getting last features in!
There are a few remaining issues but I'm positive we can quickly fix those and I didn't want to wait any longer with unblocking master branch for 1.5-SNAPSHOT development. I would like to wait for a week now and do preliminary testing on the release branch before creating a release candidate. The reason for this is that creating a release candidate takes some time and always creating RCs and voting on them can extend the release time quite a bit. With this strategy I hope that we can get the release out in a couple of weeks. Everyone is welcome to try out the release-1.4 branch and run tests. Best, Aljoscha [1] https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/4960
