+
+I am excited to announce the second maintenance release for the Debezium 3 release stream, **3.0.2.Final**.
+This maintenance release introduces a number of features, let's take a moment and dive into the highlights.
+
++++<!-- more -->+++
+
+[id="new-features-and-improvements"]
+== New features and improvements
+
+Debezium 3.0.2.Final introduces a couple of improvements and features, lets take a look at each individually.
+
+=== Core
+
+==== Perform blocking snapshots with never snapshot mode
+
+The Debezium blocking snapshot process is designed to execute the _initial_ snapshot based on the signal provided, selectively emitting the historical data for one or more tables.
+When this was paired with the _never_ `snapshot mode`, this lead to unexpected behavior.
+
+In this release, we modified the connector offsets to track the configured `snapshot.mode`, allowing the blocking snapshot to succeed and perform the _initial_ snapshot when signaled, even if the `snapshot.mode` is configured to _never_ perform a snapshot.
+This allows users to safely use this feature with this configuration (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DBZ-7903[DBZ-7903]).
+
+[WARNING]
+====
+Due to the connector offset storage change, once the connector is upgraded to 3.0.2.Final or later, the connector cannot be downgraded to 3.0.1.Final or earlier.
+====
+
+=== MongoDB
+
+==== RowsChanged JMX metric type changed
+
+In previous builds of the MongoDB connector, the `RowsChanged` JMX metric was being exposed as a `java.util.Map`, which contradicted the same JMX metric exposed on the relational connectors, which is `TabularData`.
+This has been fixed in 3.0.2.Final so that the JMX metric is exposed identical to its relational connector counterparts (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DBZ-8359[DBZ-8359]).
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+Any existing JMX pipelines for MongoDB may need to be adjusted.
+Please be sure to review your JMX pipelines before applying to your production systems if you use `RowsChanged`.
+====
+
+=== Oracle
+
+=== Higher precision with timestamps
+
+Debezium for Oracle has traditionally emitted column timestamp values with millisecond precision, influenced by the NLS session properties set on the mining session connection.
+We have improved this behavior by setting the precision to nanosecond (aka `FF9`) precision (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DBZ-8379[DBZ-8379]).
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+The emitted field type is based on the column's data type, so field emitted data types remain unchanged.
+What will change is cases where columns have micro or nanosecond-based values, where these were previously zero, they'll now have non-zero values.
+====
+
+==== Warn or skip DML exceptions
+
+The `event.processing.failure.handling.mode` can be configured to _fail_, _warn_, or _skip_ specific connector error conditions to improve connector reliability to various data issues.
+For the Oracle connector, this configuration is historically used to control how to behave when an error is encountering with DDL failures.
+
+In this release, the `event.processing.failure.handling.mode` extends to DML exceptions, which means that if there was an issue with the Oracle connector parsing your _insert_, _update_, or _delete_ operations, you can safely configure the connector to _fail_, _warn_, or _skip_ the DML event based on your needs (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DBZ-8208[DBZ-8208]).
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+The default behavior is to always _fail_ when an event fails to be handled by the connector.
+By adjusting this to _warn_ or _skip_, you will introduce data loss as the event will not be emitted by the connector, and you'll need to address this manually.
+====
+
+=== Vitess
+
+==== Performance improvements
+
+In earlier builds of the Debezium for Vitess connector, the connector used a regular expression-based filter system that would match all tables based on a prefix with varying suffixes, and later would be excluded due to configuration.
+This has the potential to waste CPU and create a hotspot due to creating a set of intermediate objects for the event that would later to be filtered.
+
+In this release, we've improved the way the Vitess connector processes this use case by applying the filtration earlier in the event processing chain.
+This should reduce the number of intermediate objects created and improve the overall performance of the connector.
+For keyspaces that have the same prefix and differing suffixes, this should provide better overall performance than older builds (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DBZ-8354[DBZ-8354]).
+
+=== Debezium Operator
+
+==== Enabling Debezium Server REST endpoint
+
+The Debezium Server API REST-ful endpoint can now be automatically enabled through a Debezium Server deployment on Kubernetes using the Debezium Operator.
+Within the `spec` section of the deployment descriptor, you can include the `runtime` section to toggle the API endpoint (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DBZ-8234[DBZ-8234]).
+
+.An example YAML configuration
+[source,yaml]

+
+By default, the Debezium Server API endpoint is disabled, but can be enabled by setting the `spec.runtime.api.enabled` with a value of `true`, as shown above.
