It’s my pleasure to announce the release of Debezium 0.5.1!

This release fixes several bugs in the MySQL, Postgres and MongoDB connectors. There’s also support for some new datatypes: POINT on MySQL (DBZ-222) and TSTZRANGE on Postgres (DBZ-280). This release is a drop-in replacement for 0.5.0, upgrading is recommended to all users.

Note that in the — rather unlikely — case that you happened to enable Debezium for all the system tables of MySQL, any configured table filters will be applied to these system tables now, too (DBZ-242). This may require an adjustment of your filters if you indeed wanted to capture all system tables but only selected non-system tables.

Please refer to the changelog for an overview of all the 29 issues fixed in Debezium 0.5.1.

The Docker image containing Kafka Connect and all the Debezium 0.5.x connectors as well as the image containing Postgres and the Debezium logical decoding plug-in have been updated to 0.5.1, too.

As Debezium continues to evolve and grow, the number of people contributing to the project is also going up. The following people have sent in pull requests for this release: Aaron Rosenberg, Alexander Kukushkin, Brendan Maguire, Duncan Sands, David Leibovic, Jiri Pechanec, nacivida, Omar Al-Safi, Randall Hauch and Tom Bentley.

Thanks a lot to you and everyone else in the community contributing via feature requests, bug reports, discussions and questions!

What’s next

We’ve planned to do further bug fix releases for the 0.5.x line. Specifically, we’ll release a fix for DBZ-217 shortly, which is about the MySQL connector stumbling when getting across a corrupt event in the binlog.

In parallel we’re looking into Debezium connectors for SQL Server and Oracle. While we cannot promise anything yet in terms of when these will be ready to be published, we hope to have at least one of them ready some time soon. Stay tuned and get involved!

About Debezium

Debezium is an open source distributed platform that turns your existing databases into event streams, so applications can see and respond almost instantly to each committed row-level change in the databases. Debezium is built on top of Kafka and provides Kafka Connect compatible connectors that monitor specific database management systems. Debezium records the history of data changes in Kafka logs, so your application can be stopped and restarted at any time and can easily consume all of the events it missed while it was not running, ensuring that all events are processed correctly and completely. Debezium is open source under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
