Following up on last week’s release candidate, we’ve just released Alpakka Kafka 3.0.0 which features the upgrade to the current Kafka client library 3.0.0. Alpakka Kafka’s API is unchanged compared to version 2.1.1.

More details are in the [release notes](https://github.com/akka/alpakka-kafka/releases/tag/v3.0.0).

Happy hakking!
