Hi Lianet, I ran the following tests:
- Verified the checksum and signature - Built kafka-4.1.1-src using JDK 17.0.17-zulu - Ran the quickstart with Docker image and kafka_2.13-4.1.1 - Downgraded and upgraded group.version using bin/kafka-features.sh +1 (non-binding) Thanks for running the release!
