Dear community, I wanted to reach out to you and discuss whether we should release a last bug fix release for the 1.5 branch.
Since we have already released Flink 1.7.0, we only need to support the 1.6.x and 1.7.x branches (last two major releases). However, the current release-1.5 branch contains 45 unreleased fixes. Some of the fixes address serializer duplication problems (FLINK-10839, FLINK-10693), fixing retractions (FLINK-10674) or prevent a deadlock in the SpillableSubpartition (FLINK-10491). I think it would be nice for our users if we officially terminated the Flink 1.5.x support with a last 1.5.6 release. What do you think? Cheers, Till
