+                <p>We are proud to announce the release of Apache Kafka 3.6.0. 
This release contains many new features and improvements. This blog post will 
highlight some of the more prominent features. For a full list of changes, be 
sure to check the <a 
href="https://downloads.apache.org/kafka/3.6.0/RELEASE_NOTES.html";>release 
notes</a>.</p>

to 3.6.0 from any version 0.8.x through 3.5.x</a> section in the documentation 
for the list of notable changes and detailed upgrade steps.</p>

+                    The ability to migrate Kafka clusters from a ZooKeeper 
metadata system to a KRaft metadata system is
+                    now ready for usage in production environments. See the 
ZooKeeper to KRaft migration
+                    <a 
href="https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#kraft_zk_migration";>operations 
documentation</a> for
+                    details. Note that support for JBOD is still not available 
for KRaft clusters, therefore clusters
+                    utilizing JBOD can not be migrated. See <a 
href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-858%3A+Handle+JBOD+broker+disk+failure+in+KRaft";>KIP-858</a>

href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-15219";>KAFKA-15219</a>) was 
completed in 3.6, further reducing the gap of features between ZooKeeper-based 
Kafka clusters and KRaft. Migration of delegation tokens from ZooKeeper to 
KRaft is also included in 3.6.</p>

Review Comment:
   We should add a note that we missed the fix for offset commits. That will be 
addressed in the next release.
   Something like. 
   
   In 3.6.0, transaction verification will prevent hanging transactions on data 
partitions. In the next release, transactional offset commits will also be 
covered.
