- Added missing dependency on googleapis-common-protos when using protobufs. (#1881, @tenzer)
confluent-kafka-python v2.7.0 is based on librdkafka v2.6.1, see the librdkafka release notes for a complete list of changes, enhancements, fixes and upgrade considerations.
Warning
Due to an error in which we included dependency changes to a recent patch release, Confluent recommends users to refrain from upgrading to 2.6.2 of Confluent Kafka. Confluent will release a new minor version, 2.7.0, where the dependency changes will be appropriately included. Users who have already upgraded to 2.6.2 and made the required dependency changes are free to remain on that version and are recommended to upgrade to 2.7.0 when that version is available. Upon the release of 2.7.0, the 2.6.2 version will be marked deprecated. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate the feedback that we have gotten from the community.
v2.6.2 is a feature release with the following features, fixes and enhancements:

- Minor enhancement to JSONDeserializer to retrieve schema from Schema Registry if not provided
confluent-kafka-python is based on librdkafka v2.5.3, see the librdkafka release notes for a complete list of changes, enhancements, fixes and upgrade considerations.
Warning
This version has introduced a regression in which an assert is triggered during PushTelemetry call. This happens when no metric is matched on the client side among those requested by broker subscription.
You won't face any problem if:
- Broker doesn't support KIP-714.
- KIP-714 feature is disabled on the broker side.
- KIP-714 feature is disabled on the client side. This is enabled by default. Set configuration
enable.metrics.push
tofalse
. - If KIP-714 is enabled on the broker side and there is no subscription configured there.
- If KIP-714 is enabled on the broker side with subscriptions that match the KIP-714 metrics defined on the client.
Having said this, we strongly recommend using v2.5.3
and above to not face this regression at all.

OpenSSL 3.0.x upgrade in librdkafka requires a major version bump, as some legacy ciphers need to be explicitly configured to continue working, but it is highly recommended NOT to use them. The rest of the API remains backward compatible.
confluent-kafka-python is based on librdkafka 2.0.2, see the librdkafka v2.0.0 release notes and later ones for a complete list of changes, enhancements, fixes and upgrade considerations.
Note: There were no v2.0.0 and v2.0.1 releases.

- Support for setting principal and SASL extensions in oauth_cb and handle failures (@Manicben, #1402)

- KIP-140 Admin API ACL fix: Better documentation of the describe and delete ACLs behavior when using the MATCH resource patter type in a filter. (#1373).
- Avro serialization examples: added a parameter for using a generic or specific Avro schema. (#1381).
confluent-kafka-python is based on librdkafka v1.9.2, see the librdkafka release notes for a complete list of changes, enhancements, fixes and upgrade considerations.
There was no 1.9.1 release of the Python Client.
This is a feature release:
- OAUTHBEARER OIDC support
- KIP-140 Admin API ACL support
- The warnings for
use.deprecated.format
(introduced in v1.8.2) had its logic reversed, which result in warning logs to be emitted when the property was correctly configured, and the log message itself also contained text that had it backwards. The warning is now only emitted whenuse.deprecated.format
is set to the old legacy encoding (True
). #1265 - Use
str(Schema)
rather thanSchema.to_json
to prevent fastavro from raising exceptionTypeError: unhashable type: 'mappingproxy'
. (@ffissore, #1156, #1197) - Fix the argument order in the constructor signature for AvroDeserializer/Serializer: the argument order in the constructor signature for AvroDeserializer/Serializer was altered in v1.6.1, but the example is not changed yet. (@DLT1412, #1263)
- Fix the json deserialization errors from
_schema_loads
for valid primitive declarations. (@dylrich, #989)
confluent-kafka-python is based on librdkafka v1.9.0, see the librdkafka release notes for a complete list of changes, enhancements, fixes and upgrade considerations.
v1.8.2 is a maintenance release with the following fixes and enhancements:
- IMPORTANT: Added mandatory
use.deprecated.format
toProtobufSerializer
andProtobufDeserializer
. See Upgrade considerations below for more information. - Python 2.7 binary wheels are no longer provided. Users still on Python 2.7 will need to build confluent-kafka from source and install librdkafka separately, see README.md for build instructions.
- Added
use.latest.version
andskip.known.types
(Protobuf) to the Serializer classes. (Robert Yokota, #1133). list_topics()
andlist_groups()
added to AdminClient.- Added support for headers in the SerializationContext (Laurent Domenech-Cabaud)
- Fix crash in header parsing (Armin Ronacher, #1165)
- Added long package description in setuptools (Bowrna, #1172).
- Documentation fixes by Aviram Hassan and Ryan Slominski.
- Don't raise AttributeError exception when CachedSchemaRegistryClient constructor raises a valid exception.
confluent-kafka-python is based on librdkafka v1.8.2, see the librdkafka release notes for a complete list of changes, enhancements, fixes and upgrade considerations.
Note: There were no v1.8.0 and v1.8.1 releases.
Prior to this version the confluent-kafka-python client had a bug where nested protobuf schemas indexes were incorrectly serialized, causing incompatibility with other Schema-Registry protobuf consumers and producers.
This has now been fixed, but since the old defect serialization and the new correct serialization are mutually incompatible the user of confluent-kafka-python will need to make an explicit choice which serialization format to use during a transitory phase while old producers and consumers are upgraded.
The ProtobufSerializer
and ProtobufDeserializer
constructors now
both take a (for the time being) configuration dictionary that requires
the use.deprecated.format
configuration property to be explicitly set.
Producers should be upgraded first and as long as there are old (<=v1.7.0)
Python consumers reading from topics being produced to, the new (>=v1.8.2)
Python producer must be configured with use.deprecated.format
set to True
.
When all existing messages in the topic have been consumed by older consumers
the consumers should be upgraded and both new producers and the new consumers
must set use.deprecated.format
to False
.
The requirement to explicitly set use.deprecated.format
will be removed
in a future version and the setting will then default to False
(new format).
v1.7.0 is a maintenance release with the following fixes and enhancements:
- Add error_cb to confluent_cloud.py example (#1096).
