Hi all, As you hopefully know, the KIP freeze for 0.11.0.0 was yesterday. Since this is the first release with a KIP freeze and a number of people from the community were in the Kafka Summit NY for a few days this week, I have included added KIPs that have enough votes to pass (even if the 72 hour period hasn't passed yet) to the release plan:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Release+Plan+0.11.0.0 For the next release, I suggest we aim to have all the KIP votes closed by the KIP freeze. As a reminder, here are the upcoming important dates (also documented in the release plan): - Feature Freeze: May 17, 2017 (major features merged & working on stabilization, minor features have PR, release branch cut; anything not in this state will be automatically moved to the next release in JIRA) - Code Freeze: May 31, 2017 (first RC created now) - Release: June 14, 2017 The feature freeze is less than 1 week away and it's possible (perhaps even likely) that some of the KIPs in the release plan may not make it. Thankfully, the subsequent release will happen 4 months later, so the wait won't be long. :) KIPs: we have 33 adopted with 11 already committed and 19 with patches in flight. The feature freeze is 6 days away so we have a lot of reviewing to do, but significant changes have been merged already. Open JIRAs: As usual, we have a lot! *https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20KAFKA%20AND%20status%20in%20(Open%2C%20%22In%20Progress%22%2C%20Reopened%2C%20%22Patch%20Available%22)%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%200.11.0.0%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC <https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20KAFKA%20AND%20status%20in%20(Open%2C%20%22In%20Progress%22%2C%20Reopened%2C%20%22Patch%20Available%22)%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%200.11.0.0%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC>* 152 at the moment. As we get nearer to the feature freeze, I will start moving JIRAs out of this release. * Closed JIRAs: So far ~212 closed tickets for 0.11.0.0: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20% 3D%20KAFKA%20AND%20status%20in%20(Resolved%2C%20Closed)% 20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%200.11.0.0%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC * Release features: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Release+Plan+0.11.0.0 has a "Release Features" section that will be included with the release notes/email for the release. I added some items to get it going. Please add to this list anything you think is worth noting. If you missed any of the updates on the new time-based releases we'll be following, see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Time+Based+Release+Plan for an explanation. I'll plan to give another update next week, around the feature freeze. As usual, feedback and/or questions are welcome. Thanks, Ismael
