Kafka's KEYS file containing PGP keys we use to sign the release: https://kafka.apache.org/KEYS * Release artifacts to be voted upon (source and binary): https://home.apache.org/~soarez/kafka-3.7.1-rc1/ * Docker release artifact to be voted upon: apache/kafka:3.7.1-rc1 * Maven artifacts to be voted upon: https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/org/apache/kafka/ * Javadoc: https://home.apache.org/~soarez/kafka-3.7.1-rc1/javadoc/ * Tag to be voted upon (off 3.7 branch) is the 3.7.1 tag: https://github.com/apache/kafka/releases/tag/3.7.1-rc1 * Documentation: https://kafka.apache.org/37/documentation.html * Protocol: https://kafka.apache.org/37/protocol.html * Successful Jenkins builds for the 3.7 branch: Unit/integration tests: https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Kafka/job/kafka/job/3.7/175/ The run shows some flaky tests, but I have confirmed they all pass locally. One of them — kafka.api.PlaintextConsumerTest.testPerPartitionLagMetricsCleanUpWithSubscribe, has an issue with the sequential run of the different test parameters, but when run independently, all the variants pass. System tests: I don't have access to the Confluent URL for system tests: https://jenkins.confluent.io/job/system-test-kafka/job/3.7 I am still working on finishing a full run using resources available to me. If anyone with access is able to check them, please reply with details. * Successful Docker Image Github Actions Pipeline for 3.7 branch: Docker Build Test Pipeline: https://github.com/apache/kafka/actions/runs/9455339546 /************************************** Thanks, -- Igor Soarez
