Release 0.9.0.Alpha

Notable changes

This release introduces several enhancements and fixes across various areas.

• Enhanced Packaging and Licensing:
  • Maven packaging artifacts are now published to GitHub Packages, ensuring improved distribution and compliance.
  • Packaging has been enhanced with the inclusion of comprehensive third-party licenses.
• Dependency Upgrades and Removals:
  • Debezium has been upgraded to version 3.1.0.Alpha2.
  • Hadoop and PostgreSQL dependencies have been removed, streamlining the project.
• Simplified Configuration Management:
  • Configuration access and management have been centralized through a dedicated config class, utilizing Quarkus ConfigMapping.
• Improved Data Type Handling:
  • Enhanced data type handling now supports datetime, timestamp, and date formats. (When time.precision.mode is not dynamic) The connector accurately converts these data types to their Iceberg equivalents.
• Optimized Default Configuration for Iceberg Consumer:
  • Default configuration values have been optimized for the Iceberg consumer, incorporating recommended Debezium settings. These settings are now applied by default.
    • Default time.precision.mode changed to isostring.
    • Default decimal.handling.mode changed to double.
    • debezium.transforms is now set to unwrap with preconfigured unwrap settings. See default values for details. To disable it set debezium.transforms=,

NOTE: Please be aware that these modifications may affect backward compatibility. Thorough testing is strongly recommended before deployment.
