1.5.39 March 19th 2025

Akka.Streams.Kafka 1.5.39 represents a major improvement in stability and performance for Kafka stream processing,
particularly for applications using manual partition assignment and rebalancing scenarios. This release includes
critical fixes for partition management and introduces new performance tuning capabilities that give users more control
over their Kafka consumer behavior.

Key Improvements

  • Improved stability during partition rebalancing operations
  • Enhanced manual partition assignment behavior
  • Significantly more reliable and improved committing performance
  • New performance tuning capabilities for consumer polling
  • Better handling of partition revocation scenarios
  • Improved memory efficiency through C# record types

Breaking Changes

  • Manual partition assignment now uses IncrementalAssign instead of Assign - this prevents offset resets for users
    running ManualSubscriptions. If you're using manual partition assignment, you'll need to verify your offset
    management logic is compatible with incremental assignment behavior.
  • Several internal types have been converted from classes to C# records for better performance and nullability
    support. This change should be transparent for most users as records are fully compatible with standard class usage
    patterns. The only potential impact would be if you're using inheritance on these types (which is not a recommended
    pattern for Akka.Streams.Kafka types).
  • We removed some extension methods that should have never been made public in the first place.
  • We made some changes to ICommittable interface and others.
