I'm wondering whether the version is correct. it seems like we missed doing this update as part of the 17.0 release and you had to do it separately in the 18.0 branch. Can you confirm?

We might need to update the release documentation here. 🤔

Shouldn't we do an update to 19.0 here (because it's on master)? Similar to how it was done in 725c0ca. I guess, we missed doing it when 17.0 was released. 🤔

I guess, we missed doing it when 17.0 was released. 🤔

I believe we didn't update flink-shaded for one of the Flink minor upgrades, because there was (at that moment) no reason to do the update. I don't think that we're following the strict versioning, more an indicator that there's no compatibility guarantees between flink-shaded version upgrades.

You're right that there is no need to update the version in master if there's no change that's applied. But it would be still good to add this as part of the release documentation, wouldn't it? To ensure that we're not forgetting to update the version if a change is applied later on.

Yes

Actually this is a good point, thanks for raising it
I didn't find this at [1] , so agree we need to update it
I believe @MartijnVisser has more info about that, could you please clarify whether we need to use 19.0 during 19.0 development?
