Hi Ismael, The main motivation was to carry on releasing a bugfix 2-3 months after a release. The project has followed that process for a while now and, as far as I can tell, it works well.
That said, looking at the issues, there are a few interesting fixes: - KAFKA-12323 is a regression in Streams 2.7.0 - KAFKA-12152 is an important idempotent producer fix - KAFKA-12310 updates ZooKeeper to 3.5.9 Thanks On Thu, Feb 18, 2021 at 5:56 PM Ismael Juma <ism...@juma.me.uk> wrote: > > Thanks for volunteering Mickael.
