There is a PR to update to the Kafka 4.1.0 client, which would be good to have in the new release.

Hey sorry for late reply, Thomas. I'm currently very busy and will not have time to drive a release.

We’re working on FLIP-537 which aims to improve the split assignment after job restart with different parallelism, after that we’d like to start a release.
