Hi Flink devs, As previously announced by Kurt [1], the release branch for 1.9.0 has been cut [2] and we've now started the testing phase for this release, as well as resolving remaining blockers.
I want to quickly provide an overview of our progress here. Also, over the course of the testing phase, we will update this mail thread every 2-3 days with the overall progress of the release to keep you updated. *1. Remaining blockers and critical issues* You can find a link here [3] for a release Kanban board that provides an overview of the remaining blockers and critical issues for releasing 1.9.0. The issues listed there are high priority for the release, so any help with reviewing or fixing them is highly appreciated! If you do assign yourself to any unassigned issue and start working on it, please make sure to pull it to the "In Progress" column to let others be aware of this. *2. Creating RC 0 for 1.9.0* We will create RC0 now to drive forward the testing efforts. This should be ready by tomorrow morning (July 16, 8am CET). Note that we will not have an official vote for RC0, as this is mainly to drive testing efforts. RC1 with an official vote will be created once the blockers listed in [3] are resolved. Cheers, Gordon [1] http://apache-flink-mailing-list-archive.1008284.n3.nabble.com/ANNOUNCE-Flink-1-9-release-branch-has-been-created-td30500.html [2] https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=flink.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/release-1.9 [3] https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?projectKey=FLINK&rapidView=328
