Dear community, happy to share this week's community update with an update on the upcoming Apache Flink releases: Flink 1.11 and Flink Stateful Functions 2.1. With the community focused on release testing the dev@ mailing list remains relatively quiet.
Flink Development ============== * [releases] Release Testing for Flink 1.11 is progressing. To follow the testing efforts check out the Flink 1.11 burndown board [1] in the Flink Jira. Stephan proposes to backport FLIP-126 to Flink 1.11 (after the feature freeze) as it is an isolated change and to avoid breaking the newly added source interface again in the next release. [2] * [releases] Apache Flink-shaded 11.0 was released. Flink 1.11 will depend on it. [3] * [releases] Gordon just published the first release candidate for Apache Flink Stateful Functions 2.1. [4] * [savepoints] I started a small discussion about documenting (breaking) backwards compatibility of Apache Flink's savepoint format.
