Hi Enrico,
Thanks for you feedback. Yes, this is an important change for minor
version release.
For your two questions,
1) We build docker image on CI for every PR, but openjdk:11-jdk docker
image updated a few days ago due to Debian 11 released, which only support
python3.9, release log list as follow:
https://www.debian.org/News/2021/20210814.
When I build pulsar docker image, it will pull the latest openjdk:11-jdk
docker image and apt-get install python3.7 failed.
2) The compatibility of this change mainly focus on the python runtime
change and Debian version change.
a. Debian 11 switch to ubuntu20.04
b. Python 3.7 upgrade to python 3.8.10.
The following list is the difference between python 3.7 and python 3.8
What's new in python3.8 compared to 3.7

Python3.8.10 change log

Thanks,
