kaf-mirror v1.2.0 Release Notes

Release date: 2026-01-19

Highlights

• Mirror-first topic behavior with default same-name mapping and regex capture substitution.
• Dynamic regex topic discovery that auto-creates target topics with matching partitions and replication factor.
• Metrics now track consumed vs produced throughput and surface source/target stall incidents.

Features

• Compliance report scheduling with configurable cadence.
• Multi-provider AI routing with endpoint normalization.
• Configurable database retention (1–30 days).
• Topic discovery interval configuration (replication.topic_discovery_interval).

Fixes & UX

• UI logout now clears session tokens.
• /login.html route is served directly.
• Password reset no longer prints secrets to stdout; a password file is generated.
• Lag calculation includes partitions with no consumed records.

Configuration changes

• New: replication.topic_discovery_interval (default 5m, 0 disables discovery).
• Updated behavior: mirror-cli users reset-password writes the password to a file; use --password-file to control the path.

Upgrade notes

• Review any regex mappings and prefer capture substitution where appropriate (e.g., orders-(.*) -> backup-$1).
• If you rely on password reset output, update automation to read the password file.
