Release 0.7 with ACLs, LDAP & Generic OAuth support for RBAC

¡Hola! We're excited to announce the latest release of UI for Apache Kafka!
This new version comes packed with a range of new features, enhancements, and bug fixes to improve your experience.
Here's a closer look at some of the highlights:

New Features

  • ACL Lists: UI for Apache Kafka now gives you access to your Kafka's ACL lists in read-only mode, allowing you to monitor and review them in greater detail. This feature lays the groundwork for more advanced functionality in the upcoming 0.8 release, where we plan to introduce full ACL editing capabilities.

  • UI Dark Theme: Take a break from the bright lights with the dark theme. You can even activate the auto-mode feature to have the interface switch automatically between light and dark modes depending on your system settings.

  • RBAC: LDAP Support: We've added support for fetching roles via LDAP, enabling you to authenticate and manage users' roles across your organization more efficiently.

  • RBAC: Generic OAuth2 Support: UI for Apache Kafka now supports fetching roles with any generic OAuth2 provider.

Significant Enhancements

  • RBAC: Separate KC Restart Permission: Managing Kafka Connect permissions just got easier with the new KC Restart permission, providing a more granular approach to managing your roles.

  • Broker Skew Displayed in UI: You can now monitor broker skew directly in UI, providing deeper insights into the state of your Kafka cluster.

  • Data Masking: Regex Support for Field Names: We've introduced support for regular expressions in field names for data masking, providing more powerful masking capabilities.

  • Opt-Out of Version Check: To support air-gap environments further, we got rid of version check requests on frontend. Since they're performed on the backend now, from now on, your frontend won't fail if there's no internet connection.

User Experience (UX) Improvements

  • Kafka Connect Quick Actions: Accessing Kafka Connect actions is now easier with the new quick actions feature in the sandwich menu.

  • Keep Contents Switch: We've added a new "keep contents" switch on message produce, allowing you to retain message content after production for a smoother and more efficient workflow.

BREAKING CHANGES

Of course, there are some!

  • LDAP users: Replace your spring.ldap.dn.pattern property name with spring.ldap.base. That's made to better match spring properties.
  • Data masking: Within mask action, replaced pattern with fieldsNamePattern.

We hope you enjoy using UI for Apache Kafka and find these new features and enhancements useful. As always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions for future releases. Thank you for choosing UI for Apache Kafka, and we look forward to bringing you more exciting updates in the future!

Best regards,
