Hi everyone,

As mentioned in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-886, a minor release that contains only bug fixes is planned to be released outside Apache Incubator.

The rationale is that there have been requests for that by users, and an Apache release will break current applications due to renaming. The first Apache release will then be 0.6 and all releases moving forward will be inside Apache Incubator.

I think this is a reasonable thing to do.

@Mentors: is that OK in your opinion?

Best,
Kostas
