## Validations (on AArch64 machine) 1. Built from source 2. Ran all tests (successful amongst multiple runs) 3. Verified basic produce/consume 4. Verified that the maven artifacts contain 3.7.2 bits
## Problems 1. While checking the commits on the branch, I found one commit which is not captured in release notes ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-17190). I have updated the JIRA with the correct tag now. This does not require a new RC. 2. Do we want to backport changes to 3.7 such as https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-18051 and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-17062? The former is a good-to-have validation and the latter impacts data stored by Tiered Storage which is not GA in 3.7. Hence, we do not need a new RC, but if we do end up creating one for a different reason, let's backport these. ## Vote + 1 (binding) -- Divij Vaidya On Thu, Dec 5, 2024 at 7:16 PM Josep Prat <josep.p...@aiven.io.invalid> wrote: > Hi Matthias, > > For 3.8.1 I pointed to the PR that makes the update to the new patch > version. > > Best, > > ------------------ > Josep Prat > Open Source Engineering Director, Aiven > josep.p...@aiven.io | +491715557497 | aiven.io > Aiven Deutschland GmbH > Alexanderufer 3-7, 10117 Berlin > Geschäftsführer: Oskari Saarenmaa, Hannu Valtonen, > Anna Richardson, Kenneth Chen > Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, HRB 209739 B > > On Thu, Dec 5, 2024, 18:46 Matthias J.
