We are very pleased to announce the availability of the first milestone of the Spring for Apache Kafka 2.0 release 2.0.0.M1.

Significant new features in the 2.0 line include:

• Support for timestamps in the KafkaTemplate.

• Seek to beginning/end of topics.

• New threading model facilitated by KIP-62 - now that the consumer client does not rely on poll() being called frequently, the threading model is much simpler; avoiding the need for internal pause() / resume() processing. Listeners are now always invoked on the consumer thread. This, in turn, has facilitated:
