Hi Christo, I did the following: 1. Verified the signatures and checksum. 2. Run all the quickstart 3. Verified the kraft.version cannot be upgraded to 1. 4. Verified the "state-change" log name is correct
Note: I didn't see the v4.0.1 document update PR in kafka-site repo. Please remember to update it. +1 (binding) from me. Thank you.
