Strimzi Files

⚠️ Important: Strimzi 0.45 supports only Kubernetes 1.25 and newer. Kubernetes 1.23 and 1.24 are not supported anymore.

Main changes since 0.45.0

This release contains the following new features and improvements:

• Dependency updates (Vert.x 4.5.13, Netty 4.1.118.Final).
• Fixed bug which may lead to metadata loss within the cluster when restarting a KRaft migration after a previous rollback due to missing /migration znode deletion.
• Fixed CVE-2024-57699 by overriding json-smart dependency with 2.5.2 version.
• Add support for Kafka 3.9.1

All changes can be found under the 0.45.1 milestone.

Watch out also for some notable changes, deprecations, and removals:

• Strimzi 0.45 is the last minor Strimzi version with support for ZooKeeper-based Apache Kafka clusters and MirrorMaker 1 deployments. Please make sure to migrate to KRaft and MirrorMaker 2 before upgrading to Strimzi 0.46 or newer.
• Strimzi 0.45 is the last Strimzi version to include the Strimzi EnvVar Configuration Provider (deprecated in Strimzi 0.38.0) and Strimzi MirrorMaker 2 Extensions (deprecated in Strimzi 0.28.0). Please use the Apache Kafka EnvVarConfigProvider and Identity Replication Policy instead.

Upgrading from Strimzi 0.45.0

Upgrading from Strimzi 0.22 or earlier

Direct upgrade from Strimzi 0.22 or earlier is not supported anymore! You have to upgrade first to one of the previous versions of Strimzi. You will also need to convert the CRD resources. For more details, see the documentation.
