[ANNOUNCE] Weekly Community Update 2020/05

[Konstantin Knauf-2]

Dear community,

comparably quiet times on the dev@ mailing list, so I will keep it brief and mostly share release related updates today.

Flink Development

==============

* [releases] Apache Flink 1.9.2 was released on Thursday. Check out the release blog post [1] for details. [2]

* [releases] Gary has published and started a vote on the first release candidate for Flink 1.10. The vote has failed due to incorrect license information in one of the newly added modules. The community also found a handful of additional issues, some of which might need to be fixed for the next RC. [3]

* [docker] The Apache Flink community has unanimously approved the integration of the Docker image publication into the Apache Flink release process, which means https://github.com/docker-flink/docker-flink will move under the Apache Flink project and the Apache Flink Docker images will become official Flink releases approved by the Apache Flink PMC. [4]

Notable Bugs
==========

I am not aware of any notable user-facing bug in any of the released versions.

Events, Blog Posts, Misc
===================

* My colleague Seth Wiesman has published an excellent blog post on state evolution in Flink covering state schema evolution, the State Processor API and a look ahead. [5]

* Upcoming Meetups

  * On February 6 Alexander Fedulov will talk about Stateful Stream Processing with Apache Flink at the R-Ladies meetup in Kiew. [6]
