On behalf of the Debezium community it’s my great pleasure to announce the release of Debezium 0.10.0.Final!

As you’d expect it, there were not many changes since last week’s CR2, one exception being a performance fix for the pgoutput plug-in of the Postgres connector, which may have suffered from slow processing when dealing with many small transactions in a short period of time (DBZ-1515).

This release finalizes the work of overall eight preview releases. We have discussed the new features and changes in depth in earlier announcements, but here are some highlights of Debezium 0.10:

It is a common requirement for business applications to maintain some form of audit log, i.e. a persistent trail of all the changes to the application’s data. If you squint a bit, a Kafka topic with Debezium data change events is quite similar to that: sourced from database transaction logs, it describes all the changes to the records of an application. What’s missing though is some metadata: why, when and by whom was the data changed? In this post we’re going to explore how that metadata can be provided and exposed via change data capture (CDC), and how stream processing can be used to enrich the actual data change events with such metadata.

I’m very happy to announce the release of Debezium 0.10.0.CR2!

After the CR1 release we decided to do another candidate release, as there was not only a good number of bug fixes coming in, but also a few very useful feature implementations were provided by the community, which we didn’t want to delay. So we adjusted the original plan a bit and now aim for Debezium 0.10 Final in the course of next week, barring any unforeseen regressions.

As usual, let’s take a closer look at some of the new features and resolved bugs.

The Debezium community is on the homestretch towards the 0.10 release and we’re happy to announce the availability of Debezium 0.10.0.CR1!

Besides a number of bugfixes to the different connectors, this release also brings a substantial improvement to the way initial snapshots can be done with Postgres. Unless any major regressions show up, the final 0.10 release should follow very soon.

This past summer has been a super exciting time for the team. Not only have we been working hard on Debezium 0.10 but we have unveiled some recent changes to debezium.io.
