Below the full releaseNote :

📝 Details

Two of the most remarkable news are :

• New @DataCoubaseTest and @DataElasticsearchTest support
• Podman can now be used when building images using Cloud Native Buildpacks

as we started to use Podman ro tun containers and always pushing further on testing.

Also in the detailed releaseNote, we can notice among others :

• Numerous dependency upgrades, including Kafka 3.1
• Elasticsearch 7.17 (still no Elastic 8.x native support, awaited for Spring 3.x)

Also taking a glance at miscellanous details is worth reading for Kafka users, JDBC and ElasticSearch
