2.6.1 Critical Regression
A critical regression was included in kafka-clients 2.6.1, which is now fixed and cherry picked [1].
For some devs, it is not easy (or they are not allowed by their enterprise) to move up to a new release, even a minor release (2.7). Devs are often allowed to upgrade to patch releases without approval, though.
There seems to be some reticence to getting 2.6.2 out ASAP, due to the effort needed; I understand that a full release of everything is not trivial, but could consideration be given to releasing, say, 2.6.1.1 for just the kafka-clients jar with this fix?
Thanks.

My apologies; I blame keyboard memory - I mostly work with kafka-clients.
Sophie, many thanks for stepping up to the plate on this one.

Yes, the change is in Kafka Streams, so the kafka-clients jar would not be
sufficient.
I've just sent out a note to the mailing list volunteering to be the
release manager for a
2.6.2 release. I think we can get this out in a timely manner
Thanks Gary

Hi Gary,
Thanks for raising this. Looking at the PR, the change is in kafka streams,
not clients?
