I am thrilled to share that Debezium 2.0.0.Alpha3 has been released!

While this release contains a plethora of bugfixes, there are a few noteworthy improvements, which include providing a timestamp in transaction metadata events, the addition of several new fields in Oracle’s change event source block, and a non-backward compatible change to the Oracle connector’s offsets.

Lets take a look at these in closer detail.

As the summer nears, I’m excited to announce the release of Debezium 1.9.3.Final!

This release primarily focuses on bugfixes and stability; however, there are some notable feature enhancements. Lets take a moment to cool off and "dive" into these new features in a bit of detail :).

As you probably noticed, we have started work on Debezium 2.0. One of the planned changes for the 2.0 release is to switch to Java 11 as a baseline. While some Java build providers still support Java 8, other Java 8 distributions already reached their end of life/support. Users are moving to Java 11 anyways, as surveys like New Relic’s State of the Java Ecosystem Report indicate. But it is not only matter of support: Java 11 comes with various performance improvements, useful tools like JDK Flight Recorder, which was open-sourced in Java 11, and more. So we felt it was about time to start thinking about using a more recent JDK as the baseline for Debezium, and the new major release is a natural milestone when to do the switch.
