Several minor issues: 1. No enclosing directory in the tgz. That is tar xzf creates the full contents in the current directory instead of creating a single kafka directory with all the files. 2. SLF4j error: SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder". SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details. 3. Shouldn't we default to build with Scala 2.9 for the binary release? 4. I think the JIRAs in the release notes could be better categorized as bug/improvement/feature, I took a pass at that. 5. I think we might want to increase the default num.io.threads from 2 to 4. This is not a blocker. I just noticed that 2 is too few if you have more than 2 disks, and most people probably won't tune this.
