Hi all, I created RC0 yesterday, but afterwards a high and a critical CVE came up during the docker builds. I have fixed those (jose4j and jersey version bump), discarded that RC and am currently in the process of making a new one. By today two issues surfaced, KAFKA-20168 (CVE) and KAFKA-20131 (bug), so I'll tackle those and hopefully will be able to kick out the new RC.
