Hi, I would be interested to try my hand at being the release manger for this.
There are currently still 5 in-progress issues [1], all except [2] with an open PR. Nico, Chesnay, Till: Can you please take a look and see if these can be completed? Thanks, Thomas [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=statusCategory%20%3D%20indeterminate%20AND%20project%20%3D%2012315522%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%2012344315%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC%2C%20key%20ASC [2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9010 On Mon, Dec 10, 2018 at 3:15 PM Thomas Weise <t...@apache.org> wrote: > Thanks Till and my belated +1 for a final patch release :) > > On Mon, Dec 10, 2018 at 5:47 AM Till Rohrmann <trohrm...@apache.org> > wrote: > >> Thanks for the feedback!
