In this version, we’d like to focus on the following development tasks: 1) Multimodal data support. More data types (OBJECTREF, BLOB, VECTOR, TENSOR) could be added for unstructured data ingestion sources. Built-in multimodal processing functions could be added, and sinks like Paimon and Fluss could write them in a standard way. 2) AI ecosystem integration. Align AI model and function APIs with Flink SQL edition. A Python SDK is planned for constructing YAML pipelines and interoperating UDF with the Python ecosystem. 3) Connector ecosystem enhancement. For MySQL CDC, conditional snapshot, source-side rate-limiting, and binlog deserialization optimization are on the roadmap. More connectors like HLS (capturing live-streaming media) and Fluss will be added, too. For developers who are interested in participating and contributing new features in this release cycle, please feel free to create a task that targets cdc-3.7.0 to trace your planning features [1]. I'm happy to volunteer as a release manager and open to working together with someone on this. To ensure that we can complete the above plan, we plan to complete the development of Flink CDC 3.7 on 2026-06-28, with a 2-month developing cycle.
