Release 1.0.0.Beta1

Based on the provided changelog for Release 1.0.0.Beta1, here are the notable changes:

Notable Changes

• Variant Support: iceberg consumer got a configuration option to store nested data to a variant field.
• Default Behavior Changes: The default consuming mode has been changed from upsert to append, and the default event format has been changed from json to connect.
• Parallel Processing: Concurrent parallel processing of the tables is now enabled, which should improve performance.
• Iceberg and Debezium Upgrades: The project has been upgraded to Iceberg 1.10.0 and Debezium 3.3.0.Beta1
• Documentation: Added migration guides for incompatible type changes.
• Build Environment: The release target has been set to Java 21.

NOTE:

• Please be aware that these modifications may affect backward compatibility. Thorough testing is strongly recommended before deployment.
• Switching from the json format to the connect format may introduce differences in how data types are handled. This could potentially lead to processing failures or unexpected data representations. We strongly recommend thoroughly testing your pipelines after making this change. Also please see migration guideline
• For new applications, we recommend starting with the connect format. It should be more performant and provide better data type support.
