Hi all, Here's the latest update from the bi-weekly.
Short summary: - Feature freeze remains August 16th. - Please start creating tickets for release testing tasks. Get all the updates on the release page. [1] *Feature Freeze* The feature freeze date remains August 16th, which is good for most efforts. Features not finished by this date will be considered moving to the next release. *On-going efforts* - Planned: 35, Done: 11, Will make it: 16, In danger: 5, Won't make it: 4 - In-danger efforts are: * FLIP-147 Checkpoints after tasks finishes * FLIP-158 Generalized incremental checkpoints * FLIP-183 Dynamic buffer size adjustment * FLINK-14482 Bump up RocksDB version * FLIP-33 Standardize connector metrics *Build statbility* Build stability is in general improving, in terms of less frequency of failures. New emerging instabilities are being taken care of. *Cross-team feature tests* In the upcoming release testing period, we will do cross-team feature tests, like what we did for the last couple of releases. In preparation for that, please open tickets for features you worked on that need to be tested. Tickets should be opened with Blocker Priority, 1.14.0 Fix-Version and labeled with "release-testing". *Highlight features* Stephan and Joe will discuss offline to come up with a skeleton of highlight features. Meantime, any ideas are welcomed. Please add them to the Highlight Features section of the release page. [1] What you can do to make 1.14 a good release: - Keep the state of on-going efforts updated on the release page [1] - Start creating tickets for feature testing tasks - Think of the things that go beyond the implementation: documentation and release/feature evangelism Thank you~ Dawid, Joe & Xintong [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/1.14+Release
