A few important remarks about this release candidate: - As mentioned in the previous voting thread of RC1 [1], we've decided to skip releasing a version of the externalized Flink Kafka Connector matching with Flink 1.16.x since the original vote thread stalled, and meanwhile we've already completed externalizing all Kafka connector code as of Flink 1.17.0.
- As such, this RC is basically identical to the Kafka connector code bundled with the Flink 1.17.0 release, PLUS a few critical fixes for exactly-once violations, namely FLINK-31305, FLINK-31363, and FLINK-31620 (please see release notes [2]). - As part of preparing this RC, I've also deleted the original v3.0 branch and re-named the v4.0 branch to replace it instead. Effectively, this resets the versioning numbers for the externalized Flink Kafka Connector code repository, so that this first release of the repo starts from v3.0.0.
