Features

rpk: add support for dataplane API in rpk cloud mcp stdio command by @birdayz in #27451

Fixes a bug that prevented Iceberg uploads from proceeding after uncommitted data was removed by Kafka retention during a period where Iceberg was disabled. by @andrwng in #27417
Redpanda Iceberg topics will now serialize some Iceberg snapshot summary metrics that are required for certain query engines (e.g. Redshift) to run against Redpanda's tables. by @andrwng in #27413
Redpanda will now automatically detect when using the Glue Iceberg REST Catalog and avoid using the purgeRequested=true option when dropping tables. This would previously result in commits to Iceberg being blocked when an Iceberg topic was deleted and recreated. by @andrwng in #27380
rpk: Allow using rpk config status in dedicated clusters. by @andresaristizabal in #27352

A new configuration option iceberg_topic_name_dot_replacement specifies a string that will replace dots in Iceberg topic names when those names are converted into Iceberg table names. This allows working around downstream systems which do not allow table names with dots in them. Be careful to avoid table name collisions by picking a proper replacement string, and do not change the replacement string if there exists an Iceberg topic with dots in the name. by @wdberkeley in #27320
