Debezium 3.6.0.Beta1 is released with 50 resolved issues. Key highlights include an upgrade to Apache Kafka 4.3, a new incubating Apache Fluss sink adapter for Kafka-less CDC pipelines, a new incubating YashanDB source connector, and deprecation of the Oracle `redo_log_catalog` mining strategy. The Debezium Operator gains OpenTelemetry monitoring support and configurable image pull policies. PostgreSQL now propagates skipped operations to publication definitions to reduce WAL overhead. SQL Server gets a new `when_needed_no_data` snapshot mode and set-based LSN-to-timestamp resolution for better query performance. The Vitess connector adds automatic message-size-aware column truncation, and MongoDB 8.0+ container compatibility on Linux kernel 6.19+ is fixed.
