|---|
| 3.10.4 (opens in API7 Gateway docs) | 2026-07-27 | Feature | Added tls for connecting to Kafka brokers over TLS, with tls.verify controlling broker certificate verification. Previously the plugin could only connect in plaintext, so a broker listening on a TLS port received no l… (opens in API7 Gateway docs) |
| 3.10.1 (opens in API7 Gateway docs) | 2026-06-15 | Feature | Added an api_version option (0, 1, or 2; default 1) for the Kafka produce protocol. Set api_version to 2 so that brokers record the real message timestamp (Kafka 0.10 and later); the default 1 preserves wire compatibi… (opens in API7 Gateway docs) |
| 3.10.1 (opens in API7 Gateway docs) | 2026-06-15 | Fix | Fixed issue: Messages were stored by brokers with no usable timestamp (rendered as 1970-01-01) because the Kafka produce API version could not be configured.

| 3.9.14 (opens in API7 Gateway docs) | 2026-06-15 | Feature | Added the api_version option (Produce API version 0, 1, or 2). Set it to 2 so that the message timestamp is carried to and stored by the broker; otherwise messages can be recorded without a timestamp. (opens in API7 Gateway docs) |

| 3.9.11 (opens in API7 Gateway docs) | 2026-04-30 | Fix | Fixed issue: The batch processor's processed_entries counter was reset when stale buffers were cleaned up, breaking delivery metrics for batch-processing plugins (such as http-logger, kafka-logger). (opens in API7 Gateway docs) |

| 3.8.9 (opens in API7 Gateway docs) | 2025-08-11 | Fix | Fixed issue: Performance degradation when max_pending_entries is enabled in service configuration with many routes. The issue was caused by each route creating separate batch processor buffers due to plugin conf deepc… (opens in API7 Gateway docs) |
