This release speeds up Avro serialization significantly, leading to a 2-3x increase in overall throughput. It also includes a few minor bugfixes, namely:
- Field truncation (when configured) now properly operates against encoded bytelength rather than string character length
- A fix was made for failures to skip unnecessary new snapshots whenever a DDL statement which added a new nullable column to a tracked table used bracket-quoting for the new column's name
- The
show_snapshot_history
tool no longer raises an exception when queried for a topic that does not yet exist
