7d58968236ea is described below

commit 7d58968236ea4a39dd6ebc7ced638ba45ed5ab31
Author: Aurélien Pupier <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Wed Aug 26 14:22:35 2026 +0200

    Removal of camel-headersmap
    
    The component camel-headersmap was deprecated in 4.21. The default
    `CaseInsensitiveMap` in camel-core
    uses a custom O(1) hash table with zero-allocation lookups and header
    key deduplication, making the external
    cedarsoftware `java-util` dependency unnecessary. Simply remove the
    `camel-headersmap` dependency from your
    project — the core implementation now provides equivalent or better
    performance.

 === Components removal
 
+==== camel-headersmap
+
+The component camel-headersmap was deprecated in 4.21. The default 
`CaseInsensitiveMap` in camel-core
+uses a custom O(1) hash table with zero-allocation lookups and header key 
deduplication, making the external
+cedarsoftware `java-util` dependency unnecessary. Simply remove the 
`camel-headersmap` dependency from your
+project — the core implementation now provides equivalent or better 
performance.
+
 ==== camel-iec60870
 
 `camel-iec60870` was deprecated in 4.21. The library used to implement it 
NeoScada is no more maintained since
