Hi Mickael, I did the following on RC2: - verified the checksums and signature - downloaded and build from source (java 21) + run quickstart - played with basic produce/consume, classic and consumer groups, mixed groups, online upgrade/downgrade - downloaded docker images & run quick start with both - browsed the docs +1 (binding) Thanks for running the release!
