Version 1.17.2

Release Date: July 25, 2026 Release Type: Release Candidate

This was a Release Candidate published to the staging channel; its content was validated and is included in 1.18.0, the first release on the single product version line. The headline of this release is the new ActiveMQ connector, together with the Kafka commit strategy, advanced consumer options and topic administration.

Backend Server​

New Features​

  • ActiveMQ connector: New connector to send to and receive from external ActiveMQ brokers, supporting both OpenWire and AMQP protocols with TLS and username/password authentication.
  • Kafka commit strategy and advanced consumer options: Kafka consumer flows gain an "after flow" commit strategy that advances the consumer offset only once the flow finishes processing successfully (with bounded, validated retry), preventing message loss on failures or restarts. A set of optional advanced consumer tuning fields (offset reset, poll interval, fetch sizes, isolation level, manual/auto commit) is also exposed, each applied only when set so existing flows are unaffected.
  • Kafka topic administration: A new capability lists topics with their status, shows per-topic configuration and per-consumer-group lag, and lets operators change editable settings (retention, cleanup policy, compression, maximum message size) and increase partition counts, validating every change before it reaches the broker.

Frontend Server​

New Features​

  • ActiveMQ connector: Server-side support for building flows that send to and receive from external ActiveMQ brokers.
  • Kafka topic browser and advanced consumer settings: Browse the Kafka topics used by your flows or across the cluster — partitions, health status, windowed producer/consumer counts and consumer-group lag — change topic settings, and refresh live. Fine-tune Kafka consumers on the start connector (offset reset, poll/fetch sizing, isolation level).

Frontend Web​

New Features​

  • ActiveMQ connector: Sender and receiver nodes in the flow designer, so flows can produce and consume on ActiveMQ brokers.
  • Kafka topic monitoring and consumer tuning: A new Operations page shows topics and their message counts with fast cache-first loading; consumer start nodes gain a commit-strategy selector, a RECEIVED status breakdown, and an expanded, validated Advanced tuning tab.

This is a Release Candidate (pre-release); its validated content ships in 1.18.0. Previous: 1.17.1
