Release Highlights
- Kafka deprecation: Internal queues are now being used for visibility in a dual processor mode. See details below.
- Bug fixed: When using Cassandra persistence, there was an issue that could have lead to Workflow creation without an initial event.
- Other small bug fixes and refactors: See change details.
Deprecate Kafka
UPDATE: Please use v1.6.4 release to migrate out of Kafka.
This release uses internal visibility queues by default, instead of Kafka. New visibility updates will go to the internal visibility queue but the Kafka processor will still be running in order to process previously created messages. This change will provide a smooth migration (no action required) to the internal visibility queue even if you didn't follow the upgrade steps from the previous v1.5.0 release.
In the next release all remaining Kafka code will be completely removed.
