Hi David, I verified the latest RC with the following steps:
- Verified the signatures - Built from source - Ran the unit tests (same single failure from before, but otherwise all good) - Executed the quickstart against the built source code. - Ran the streams quickstart. - Tested the apache/kafka and apache/kafka-native docker images with the quickstart - Spot checked the javadoc and documentation. +1(binding) Thanks, Bill On Fri, Mar 14, 2025 at 10:36 AM Lianet M. <liane...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi David, I verified the new RC with the following steps: > > - Checked system tests run: there were 2 new failures in connect that we > didn't have in the previous RC (test_broker_compatibility and > test_pause_state_persistent).
