Debezium connector upgraded to version 3.1.0

Debezium version 3.1.0 is now supported in Aiven for Apache Kafka Connect through multi-version support. New Debezium connectors use version 3.1.0 by default. Existing connectors remain on their configured version unless changed.

What’s new:

• Debezium 3.1.0 is now the default version for new connectors.
• Older versions, including 1.9.7, remain available through version pinning.
• Connectors are not upgraded automatically. To upgrade, set the version using the plugin_versions configuration.
• Debezium versions 2.0 and later do not support the wal2json replication format. If you use wal2json with PostgreSQL, stay on version 1.9.7 or migrate to a supported format such as pgoutput.

To upgrade:
Set the desired version using the plugin_versions property. Test any changes in a staging environment before applying them in production.
