We are happy to announce the Apache Kafka 4.3.0 release!
It includes 25 KIPs and over 600 commits from 147 contributors (and 3 AIs).
Unfortunately, also a memory leak on @kafkastreams so please wait for 4.3.1 if you are a Kafka Streams user.

Happy Birthday #KafkaStreams 🎉

Thanks to almost 500 contributors! It would not have been possible without each and everyone of you!

There is a new KIP-1244 proposing to deprecate the Kafka Streams Scala API, and remove it with the next major release.
Please join the discussion on the dev mailing list if this concerns you.

Early holiday gift arrived! We are live with our new webpage!
Same content. Modern look and modern backend. It’s a huge simplification for maintaining and contributing to the docs.
Kudos and thanks to Harish Vishwanath for leading this effort, and David Arthur for shepherding!
