release
HIGH
Debezium 3.5.0.Final was released March 31, 2026. This is a significant major release built against Kafka Connect 4.1.1 (tested with Kafka 4.1.1 brokers). Key features include: Oracle 26ai compatibility, significantly faster LogMiner restart performance, new CockroachDB schema/heartbeat features, several breaking changes introduced in CR1. Previous ODS version: 3.4.3.Final. The Kafka Connect dependency bump from 4.0.x to 4.1.1 may require Redpanda Connect configuration updates. Breaking changes require careful review before upgrade.

ODS Impact
Debezium is ODS's CDC engine for the Zero-ETL pipeline (PostgreSQL -> Debezium -> ClickHouse via Redpanda). Current ODS version is 3.4.3.Final. Upgrade to 3.5.0.Final introduces breaking changes — read the full release notes before upgrading. The Kafka Connect 4.1.1 dependency must be tested against ODS's Redpanda v26.1.2 Kafka-compatible API. Recommended: test in staging before production. This release brings PostgreSQL CDC improvements that may benefit ODS's multi-schema CDC topology.
