[VOTE] Release Apache Iggy (Incubating) v0.8.0 rc2

[hubcio]

Hello, Apache Iggy (incubating) Community,

This is a call for a vote to release Apache Iggy (incubating) version 0.8.0 rc2

This is a re-cut of v0.8.0. The original v0.8.0 rc1 passed both the Iggy community and IPMC votes, but during publishing we discovered that one of our internal crates (iobuf) conflicts with an unrelated crate of the same name already on crates.io (v5.8.1). That conflict prevents us from publishing iggy_common and iggy_binary_protocol to crates.io without pulling in the wrong dependency on downstream users' machines. rc2 contains the fix for this issue; the rest of the release is unchanged.

Along with the Iggy Server 0.8.0 we will release SDKs and tooling such as Web UI, Bench Dashboard, CLI, Bench CLI, Connectors Runtime and MCP server.

Checklist for reference:

• Download Iggy is valid.
• Checksums and PGP signatures are valid.
• Source code distributions have correct names matching the current release.
• LICENSE and NOTICE files are correct.
• All files have license headers if necessary.
• No compiled archives bundled in source archive.
• Can compile from source.

Verify source

To verify the source code, at first clone the repository, checkout to commit f5350d999d883fd3ca9dd33b3dc2754ddb0df049 or tag server-0.8.0-rc.2 and then simply run the release script from the root directory:

./scripts/prepare-release.sh

This will create the artifact under iggy_release directory, and should produce the following SHA-512 checksum:

006a62c0bf988b20044743bb09ac780db42e3b63868705c521eb425686bad4208704d2152788f1584dfc06af8652c1e7b86dda474b05c79d926a71415f3e9b5d

Build and test

To build, you need to have Rust installed.

Then, simply type cargo build and next cargo test to ensure that everything does work as expected.

You might need to increase maximum kernel locked memory limit and open descriptions limit - iggy tests are quite intensive on these resources.

Thanks,
Hubert

Quick clarification on rc2 scope for anyone diffing against rc1:

rc2 includes 34 commits on top of rc1, not just the single iobuf rename. The core fix is #3110 (inline iobuf into iggy_binary_protocol), plus #3111, #3124, and #3125 which harden our publish pipeline so a crates.io name collision can't slip past a green vote again.

The remaining commits are a week's worth of normal master activity picked up when we re-cut from HEAD — bugfixes, dependency bumps, test/CI improvements, and minor Go/CLI/helm/docs changes. No new user-facing features or protocol changes compared to rc1.

Full diff between the two RCs:
server-0.8.0-rc.1...server-0.8.0-rc.2
