["Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai" <tz...@apache.org>]

The Apache Flink community released the first bugfix release of the
Stateful Functions (StateFun) 2.2 series, version 2.2.1.

This release fixes a critical bug that causes restoring a Stateful
Functions cluster from snapshots (checkpoints or savepoints) to fail under
certain conditions.

*We strongly recommend all users to upgrade to this version.*
