commit 94c6cfa66ca281fa572e75dfa0114432b5b80659 Author: Ismael Juma <[email protected]> AuthorDate: Mon Sep 25 20:45:10 2023 -0700 MINOR: Replace Java 20 with Java 21 in `README.md` I intended to include this in 99e6f12dd099, but somehow missed it. I will wait for KAFKA-15943 before updating the site docs with Java 21 (we never added Java 20 there). --- README.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 49dd49ef659..1a645dc409f 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ See our [web site](https://kafka.apache.org) for details on the project.

We set the `release` parameter in javac and scalac to `8` to ensure the generated binaries are compatible with Java 8 or higher (independently of the Java version used for compilation). Java 8 support has been deprecated since Apache Kafka 3.0 and will be removed in Apache Kafka 4.0 (see [KIP-750](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=181308223) for more details).
