confluent-kafka-python v2.0.2

v2.0.2 is a feature release with the following features, fixes and enhancements:

• Added Python 3.11 wheels.
• KIP-222 Add Consumer Group operations to Admin API.
• KIP-518 Allow listing consumer groups per state.
• KIP-396 Partially implemented: support for AlterConsumerGroupOffsets.
• As result of the above KIPs, added (#1449)
  • list_consumer_groups Admin operation. Supports listing by state.
  • describe_consumer_groups Admin operation. Supports multiple groups.
  • delete_consumer_groups Admin operation. Supports multiple groups.
  • list_consumer_group_offsets Admin operation. Currently, only supports 1 group with multiple partitions. Supports require_stable option.
  • alter_consumer_group_offsets Admin operation. Currently, only supports 1 group with multiple offsets.
• Added normalize.schemas configuration property to Schema Registry client (@rayokota, #1406)
• Added metadata to TopicPartition type and commit() (#1410).
• Added consumer.memberid() for getting member id assigned to the consumer in a consumer group (#1154).
• Implemented nb_bool method for the Producer, so that the default (which uses len) will not be used. This avoids situations where producers with no enqueued items would evaluate to False (@vladz-sternum, #1445).
• Deprecated AvroProducer and AvroConsumer. Use AvroSerializer and AvroDeserializer instead.
• Deprecated list_groups. Use list_consumer_groups and describe_consumer_groups instead.
• Improved Consumer Example to show atleast once semantics.
• Improved Serialization and Deserialization Examples.
• Documentation Improvements.

Upgrade considerations

OpenSSL 3.0.x upgrade in librdkafka requires a major version bump, as some legacy ciphers need to be explicitly configured to continue working, but it is highly recommended NOT to use them. The rest of the API remains backward compatible.

confluent-kafka-python is based on librdkafka v2.0.2, see the librdkafka v2.0.0 release notes and later ones for a complete list of changes, enhancements, fixes and upgrade considerations.

Note: There were no v2.0.0 and v2.0.1 releases.
