Hi, Maulin. We have traditionally not mentioned *every* KIP in the project's blog posts -- unless a release just happens to involve a small number of KIPs. This means that we do have to choose a subset of the KIPs -- AK 2.6.0 had 30 KIPs that were implemented, and a blog summarizing each would be too long and much less widely received. I tried to choose KIPs that clearly impacted the broadest set of users, and finding a subset wasn't that easy.
I chose not to include KIP-519 in the blog simply because it requires installing and integration into the broker components that are not included in the official distribution. I hope that helps explain my thought process.
