Hi, Thanks Till for preparing the RC1 for Flink 1.7.0!
I checked a few things, but there seem to be some issues with the release candidate. + Built Flink 1.7.0 from sources and ran all tests(On Darwin Kernel Version 17.7.0 Thu Jun 21 22:53:14 PDT 2018; root:xnu-4570.71.2~1/RELEASE_X86_64). + Checked checksums and GPG files match the corresponding release files. + Run following Local Setup Tutorial and verify no warnings/errors. - README.md contains a broken link [1]. Best, tison. [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10797
