Kafka follows a "fully compatible model" and new features are always optional. We have extensive compatibility testing to make sure rolling upgrades are safe and painless.

I agree that is an option, but is there any reason to not have a 2.3.2 and 2.4.2 released? If so, it would be nice to know about these reasons. Appreciate your time on this. On Wed, Jun 24, 2020 at 6:35 PM Ismael Juma wrote: > I think there's some confusion here. You can upgrade to AK 2.5.0 and

Hi Sankalp, Is there a reason why you cannot upgrade to Apache Kafka 2.5.0 instead? We are working on the 2.5.1 release, which would be the recommended release. Ismael On Wed, Jun 24, 2020 at 6:18 AM Sankalp Bhatia wrote: > Hi All, > > I would like to know if there are any plans to release a 2
