Hi devs, As FlinkCDC 3.4 was released recently, it's a good time to kick off the upcoming Flink CDC 3.5 release cycle.
In the past two major versions, we have made significant optimizations to the capability of schema evolution, this feature is quite stable now. In this version, we will focus on the following development tasks: 1. Expand the source connectors that pipeline jobs can support. Integrate PostgreSQL/Kafka connector as pipeline source, which are high demands for feedback from community users. 2. Improve usability in multi-tables (with significant differences in primary keys and data distribution) synchronization scenario. 3. Further improve the robustness of the Transform module in complex scenes. For developers who are interested in participating and contributing new features in this release cycle, please feel free to create a jira that targets cdc-3.5.0 to trace your planning features [1]. I'm happy to volunteer as a release manager and of course open to work together with someone on this. To ensure that we can complete the above plan, we plan to complete the development of Flink CDC 3.5 by the end of August, 2025. Best, Yanquan [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-37839?jql=project%20%3D%20FLINK%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%20cdc-3.5.0
