Hi Everyone, We are now about a week after cutting the release-1.8 branch and things are looking quite good! The community has worked hard on fixing bugs and test instabilities. There are now only two issues that are marked as “blocker” in our Jira: [1]. The first of which is about updating the release notes, for which there is an open PR [2], the second one is a bug in TraversableSerializer but Dawid has already found the solution [3].
There is also already a PR for updating our Downloads page for Flink 1.8 [4]. This change is a bit bigger than usual because it also restructures the Download page, feel free to have a look in there. Lastly, the release blog post is also available as a PR [5] and the community is working on finalising that one. Please comment here if you think there are any issues that should be considered blockers for Flink 1.8.0. I’ll get the release process rolling as soon as those last blockers are out of the way.
