Matthias, Thanks for running the release.
I did the following steps: - Validated the checksums and keys - Built from source - Ran all the unit tests - Spot checked the javadocs - Spot checked the documentation - Ran the KRaft quickstart - Pulled and started the docker image - Ran the Kafka Streams quickstart When I looked over the documentation, I noticed the quickstart (main page and Kafka Streams) still reference the previous release 3.7.1, but this isn't enough to block the release, we can do a PR against the kafka-site repo. +1(binding) Regards, Bill On Wed, Dec 4, 2024 at 3:15 PM Matthias J.
