• Fixed build pipeline
• Upgraded runtime to Go 1.24
• JSON compact is set as the default encoder

[New Features]

• Multi-platform packaging.

[Fixes]

• Print the parsed content instead of the raw template when publishing plain text with -gv flags.

[New Features]

• produce plain command now supports data templates to push randomly generated messages to Kafka.
• Added --sleep=Duration parameter to produce commands so that we can put a gap between publish operations.
• produce commands now support --count=0 to allow publishing to Kafka indefinitely.

[New Features]

• The process of loading proto files from disk respects logging verbosity levels.
• The offset of the consumed message can be optionally included in the output.
• Different time-based starting offsets can be defined for different partitions.
• Predefined starting offsets (eg. oldest, newest, local, etc) can be defined for individual partitions.
• The following new flags have been added to consume commands:
  • --to: To define a stop offset/timestamp.
  • --idle-timeout: The amount of time the consumer will wait for a message to arrive before stop consuming from a partition.
  • --exclusive: Only explicitly defined partitions (Partition#Offset|Timestamp) will be consumed. The rest will be excluded.

[Changes]

• -U (for SASL username) and -P (for SASL password) short flags have been removed.
• Partition and Key metadata will be printed to the output as separate lines for non-json formats.
• UTC suffix has been replaced with timezone offsets.
• --from is now a repeatable flag instead of a single comma separated string.
• Partition-Offset delimiter has been changed to # for --from and --to values.
• Wildcard offset definition syntax (:Offset) has been replaced with --exclusive flag to reduce the complexity.
• User will not be asked to provide topic (or proto schema) in the interactive mode, if it's already been provided via command arguments.

[Fixes]

• Loading proto files from disk respects termination signals received from the OS (Ctrl + C).
