Hi Christo, I did the following: - Built kafka 4.0.1-rc1 with java 23 zulu - Ran unit test & integration tests - Verify all signatures and checksum. - Skimmed the kafka 40 doc. - Run producer&consumer quickstart with docker images (apache/kafka & apache/kafka-native)
I noticed the 4.0 site still references 4.0.0 binaries/images in several places (e.g., 1.3 Quick Start, 1.8 Docker). It looks like bumping fullDotVersion to 4.0.1 would fix these references: https://github.com/apache/kafka-site/blob/6b0479091cafe86e8fc412e0252274d3993508d3/40/js/templateData.js#L22 I assume we’ll update when 4.0.1 is released. +1 (non-binding) Best, Kuan-Po Tseng On Fri, Aug 29, 2025 at 8:54 PM Christo Lolov <christolo...@gmail.com> wrote: > 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! > > Best, > Christo > > On Thu, 28 Aug 2025 at 14:23, Lianet M. <liane...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi Christo, > > > > Other than the missing Docker artifacts (kafka and kafka-native), I also > > noticed that some KS Jiras (recently included) seem to be missing from > the > > release notes (e.g., KAFKA-15307, KAFKA-19529). > > > > Other than that, I did the following: > > - checked the release notes > > - checked maven artifacts containing 4.0.1 > > - built from sources (Java 17 and Scala 2.13.15) > > - ran quick start > > - tried basic produce/consume with classic and consumer protocol, and > > groups upgrade/downgrade > > - ran system tests, got only 2 failures on > NetworkDegradeTest.test_latency, > > but they passed locally. > > - System tests results here: > > > > > https://confluent-open-source-kafka-branch-builder-system-test-results.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/trunk/2025-08-27--002.920226bc-6e38-4a2f-add5-764067c6ae9d--1756305760--confluentinc--4.0--2968be954f/report.html > > > > > > I'll hold off on voting until we sort out the pending docker/notes > issues. > > > > Thanks for running the release! > > > > Lianet > > > > On Wed, Aug 27, 2025 at 7:57 AM Mickael Maison <mickael.mai...@gmail.com > > > > wrote: > > > > > Hi Christo, > > > > > > The apache/kafka-native:4.0.1-rc1 tag does not exist in DockerHub. > > > Looking at the Jobs in GitHub, it looks like you've missed the steps > > > in > > > > > > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=34840886#ReleaseProcess-CreateGraalVMBasedNativeApacheKafkaDockerArtifact(Forversions > > > >=3.8.0) > > > > > > Thanks, > > > Mickael > > > > > > On Tue, Aug 19, 2025 at 5:43 PM Christo Lolov <christolo...@gmail.com> > > > wrote: > > > > > > > > Hello Kafka users, developers and client-developers, > > > > > > > > This is the second candidate for release of Apache Kafka 4.0.1. > > > > > > > > Since this is a patch version it contains the bug fixes outlined in > the > > > > release notes below! > > > > > > > > Release notes for the 4.0.1 release: > > > > > > > > > > https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/kafka/4.0.1-rc1/RELEASE_NOTES.html > > > > > > > > *** Please download, test and vote by Tuesday August 26. > > > > > > > > Kafka's KEYS file containing PGP keys we use to sign the release: > > > > https://kafka.apache.org/KEYS > > > > > > > > * Release artifacts to be voted upon (source and binary): > > > > https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/kafka/4.0.1-rc1/ > > > > > > > > * Docker release artifacts to be voted upon: > > > > apache/kafka:4.0.1-rc1 > > > > apache/kafka-native:4.0.1-rc1 > > > > > > > > * Maven artifacts to be voted upon: > > > > > https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/org/apache/kafka/ > > > > > > > > * Javadoc: > > > > https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/kafka/4.0.1-rc1/javadoc/ > > > > > > > > * Tag to be voted upon (off 4.0 branch) is the 4.0.1 tag: > > > > https://github.com/apache/kafka/releases/tag/4.0.1-rc1 > > > > > > > > * Successful CI builds for the 4.0 branch: > > > > Unit/integration tests: > > > > https://github.com/apache/kafka/actions/runs/17041863563 > > > > > > > > * Successful Docker Image Github Actions Pipeline for 4.0 branch: > > > > Docker Build Test Pipeline (JVM): > > > > https://github.com/apache/kafka/actions/runs/17068524479 > > > > Docker Build Test Pipeline (Native): > > > > https://github.com/apache/kafka/actions/runs/17068533707 > > > > > > > > Thanks, > > > > Christo > > > > > >
