librdkafka v1.5.3

librdkafka v1.5.3 is a maintenance release.

Upgrade considerations

• CentOS 6 is now EOL and is no longer included in binary librdkafka packages, such as NuGet.

Fixes

General fixes

• Fix a use-after-free crash when certain coordinator requests were retried.

Consumer fixes

• Consumer would not filter out messages for aborted transactions if the messages were compressed (#3020).
• Consumer destroy without prior close() could hang in certain cgrp states (@gridaphobe, #3127).
• Fix possible null dereference in Message::errstr() (#3140).
• The roundrobin partition assignment strategy could get stuck in an endless loop or generate uneven assignments in case the group members had asymmetric subscriptions (e.g., c1 subscribes to t1,t2 while c2 subscribes to t2,t3). (#3159)
