The Apache Kafka community is pleased to announce the release for Apache Kafka 2.6.0 * TLSv1.3 has been enabled by default for Java 11 or newer. * Significant performance improvements, especially when the broker has large numbers of partitions * Smooth scaling out of Kafka Streams applications * Kafka Streams support for emit on change * New metrics for better operational insight * Kafka Connect can automatically create topics for source connectors * Improved error reporting options for sink connectors in Kafka Connect * New Filter and conditional SMTs in Kafka Connect * The default value for the `client.dns.lookup` configuration is now `use_all_dns_ips` * Upgrade Zookeeper to 3.5.8 This release also includes other features, 74 improvements, 175 bug fixes, plus other changes. All of the changes in this release can be found in the release notes: https://www.apache.org/dist/kafka/2.6.0/RELEASE_NOTES.html You can download the source and binary release (Scala 2.12 and 2.13) from: https://kafka.apache.org/downloads#2.6.0 --- Apache Kafka is a distributed streaming platform with four core APIs: ** The Producer API allows an application to publish a stream of records to one or more Kafka topics. ** The Consumer API allows an application to subscribe to one or more topics and process the stream of records produced to them. ** The Streams API allows an application to act as a stream processor, consuming an input stream from one or more topics and producing an output stream to one or more output topics, effectively transforming the input streams to output streams. ** The Connector API allows building and running reusable producers or consumers that connect Kafka topics to existing applications or data systems. For example, a connector to a relational database might capture every change to a table. With these APIs, Kafka can be used for two broad classes of application: ** Building real-time streaming data pipelines that reliably get data between systems or applications. ** Building real-time streaming applications that transform or react to the streams of data. Apache Kafka is in use at large and small companies worldwide, including Capital One, Goldman Sachs, ING, LinkedIn, Netflix, Pinterest, Rabobank, Target, The New York Times, Uber, Yelp, and Zalando, among others.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Apache HTTP Server 2.4.46 Released
Apache HTTP Server 2.4.46 Released
August 07, 2020
The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project
are pleased to announce the release of version 2.4.46 of the Apache
HTTP Server ("Apache"). This version of Apache is our latest GA
release of the new generation 2.4.x branch of Apache HTTPD and
represents fifteen years of innovation by the project, and is
recommended over all previous releases. This release of Apache is
a security, feature and bug fix release.
We consider this release to be the best version of Apache available, and
encourage users of all prior versions to upgrade.
Apache HTTP Server 2.4.46 is available for download from:
https://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
Apache 2.4 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance
boosts over the 2.2 codebase. For an overview of new features
introduced since 2.4 please see:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/new_features_2_4.html
Please see the CHANGES_2.4 file, linked from the download page, for a
full list of changes. A condensed list, CHANGES_2.4.46 includes only
those changes introduced since the prior 2.4 release. A summary of all
of the security vulnerabilities addressed in this and earlier releases
is available:
https://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html
This release requires the Apache Portable Runtime (APR), minimum
version 1.5.x, and APR-Util, minimum version 1.5.x. Some features may
require the 1.6.x version of both APR and APR-Util. The APR libraries
must be upgraded for all features of httpd to operate correctly.
This release builds on and extends the Apache 2.2 API. Modules written
for Apache 2.2 will need to be recompiled in order to run with Apache
2.4, and require minimal or no source code changes.
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/VERSIONING
When upgrading or installing this version of Apache, please bear in mind
that if you intend to use Apache with one of the threaded MPMs (other
than the Prefork MPM), you must ensure that any modules you will be
using (and the libraries they depend on) are thread-safe.
Please note the 2.2.x branch has now passed the end of life at the Apache
HTTP Server project and no further activity will occur including security
patches. Users must promptly complete their transitions to this 2.4.x
release of httpd to benefit from further bug fixes or new features.
