The 2.5.0.RC1 release candidate is now avaialable in the Spring milestone repo.

Update: 2.5.0.RELEASE was released on May 13th.

Highlights:

• kafka-clients 2.5.0 (alignment of version numbers is coincidental).

• Support for re-committing retryable offset commit exceptions for retained partitions when using cooperative rebalancing.

• Support for the new "fetch-offset-request" procuder fencing (when brokers are 2.5 or higher), requiring fewer producers.

• Support for static group membership.

• More integration with Micrometer.

• Optional Delivery Attempts header.

• RecoveringBatchErrorHandler can commit a partial batch and replay from failed record in a batch (with cooperation of the listener); this is now the default for a batch listener.

On behalf of the community, I am pleased to announce that the Milestone 1 (M1) of the Spring Cloud 2020.0.0 (Code Name: Ilford) Release Train is available today. The release can be found in the Spring Milestone repository. You can check out the 2020 release notes for more information.

Notable Changes in the 2020 Release Train

We have changed our release train versioning scheme. We now follow Calendar Versioning or calver for short. We will follow the YYYY.MINOR.MICRO scheme where MINOR is an incrementing number that starts at zero each year. The MICRO segment corresponds to suffixes previously used: .0 is analogous to .RELEASE and .2 is analogous to .SR2. Pre-release suffixes will also change from using a . to a - for the separator, for example 2020.0.0-M1 and 2020.0.0-RC2. We will also stop prefixing snapshots with BUILD- -- for example 2020.0.0-SNAPSHOT…
