The Apache Iggy (Incubating) community is pleased to announce the release of Apache Iggy (Incubating) 0.8.0.
Apache Iggy is a persistent message streaming platform written in Rust, supporting QUIC, TCP, WebSocket and HTTP transport protocols, capable of processing millions of messages per second with ultra low latencies. Release highlights: - Clustering foundations: new `shard` crate with generic `IggyShard` and shard router, a persistent WAL journal with recovery and compaction for the metadata state machine, and a deterministic PacketSimulator for distributed-system testing. - Binary protocol refactor: dedicated `iggy_binary_protocol` crate with zero-copy wire types for all commands, a sans-IO frame codec, and a command dispatch table — consolidating serialization into a single auditable path. - Security hardening: user headers now encrypted alongside message payload, credentials wrapped in `SecretString` to prevent leaks, random JWT secrets generated when none are configured, and 15 Dependabot vulnerability alerts resolved. - New connectors and SDK expansion: MongoDB, InfluxDB (sink + source), and generic HTTP sink connectors; major Java SDK work (async API parity, connection pooling, connection timeout); TCP/TLS support across Go, Node, and C# SDKs; Bazel build infrastructure for C++.

Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF. Thanks, The Apache Iggy (Incubating) Team
