Hi Adam, Currently there are no concrete plans for the 1.11.4 release. Usually the community creates a new release after enough fixes have been merged or if there is enough demand for it. We have indeed accumulated 35 fixes for 1.11.4 already which could justify a new release. Which fixes do you need in particular?
1.11.x is still actively maintained. The community's update policy is a bit hidden here [1]. In a nutshell, the community supports the latest two major releases with bug fixes for critical issues. Consequently, we are currently supporting 1.11.x and 1.12.x. Usually enhancements are only backported if they don't change Flink's behaviour and if there is demand for it. So usually, this does not happen. Once Flink 1.13 is released, Flink 1.11.x won't be maintained anymore by the community. This means that problems won't be fixed in the 1.11.x release branch.
