A question. I upgraded to v4.12.2 and see this in the log
10:00:14.538 [pool-3-thread-1] INFO o.a.u.LoggingUpdateCheckerReporter - AxonIQ has found the following dependency upgrade(s):

I would like to try v5, but I am using extensions v4.12.0 (specifically kafka one).
Will extension 4.12.0 work with v5?
Thank you,
Oleg
PS I will try anyways but in case there is guidance/expereince someone is willing to share, I would appreciate!
I can be short and sweet: the AF Kafka Extension does not yet have an AF5 equivalent! Guess you have already hit an issue there…but figured you deserve an answer regardless.
Know that it is on the roadmap, though. However, the team is first tackling some other required features that should be ported from AF4 to AF5.
I gave it an honest try, but this is, unfortunately, beyond my current level of AF5 knowledge I will use AF4 for now and wait till the Kafka extension is migrated.
What is the best way to keep up-to-date and find out when it is available?
I commend the effort you’ve put into it, @Oleg_Cohen!
The Kafka Extension is in my mind still a vital part of Axon Framework’s ecosystem, and should remain so for AF5. However, the team is focused on feature parity between AF4 and AF5, which will definitely take until we’ve released 5.3.0. You can expect 5.3.0 next year for sure.
We aim to pair all upcoming minor releases with at least one, but sometimes several, extensions. I’d hope Kafka to be one of those.
This forum has an announcements category. Release land in that area by default, so that’s a place to look, @Oleg_Cohen.
