Hi Divij, You beat me to it, I was about to propose doing a 3.6.1 release later this week. While there's only a dozen or so issues fixed since 3.6.0, as mentioned there's a few important dependency upgrades that would be good to release.
I'm happy to volunteer to run the release if we agree to releasing sooner than initially proposed. There seems to only be a few unresolved Jiras targeting 3.6.1 [0] (all have PRs with some of them even already merged!). 0: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-15552?jql=project%20%3D%20KAFKA%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%203.6.1%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC%2C%20status%20DESC%2C%20updated%20DESC Thanks, Mickael On Mon, Nov 13, 2023 at 3:57 PM Divij Vaidya <divijvaidy...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Ismael, I am all-in favour for frequent releases.
