Thank you both for catching these! I have redone the Docker images which ought to now be available at: * https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/kafka * https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/kafka-native
I was under the impression that the Release Notes are auto-generated from the JIRA tags, but I will do one more pass to see what could have caused what you linked to not be included. Thanks once again!
