https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-kafka/releases/tag/v3.3.1

https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-kafka/releases/tag/v3.2.6

Kafka Client 3.9.0 compatibility

The 3.3.1 version is compatible with Kafka Client version 3.9.0, but the compile time dependency in the framework is on Kafka client version 3.8.1. To use Kafka client version 3.9.0 or above with 3.3.1, the applications need to manually upgrade the Kafka client version. To see more details on how to override the Kafka client versions when using Spring Boot, see this.

Spring Boot Integration

The 3.3.1 and 3.2.6 releases will be integrated with upcoming Spring Boot 3.4.1 and 3.3.7 respectively.
