Hello, I'd like to know if there is a plan to upgrade the current flink pulsar connector to be supported by new flink versions, the official connector is compatible onlly with flink 1.18. The problem is that I can see that the oficial github repo is abandoned, no one is checkin' the PRs, a fix was marged many months ago and there is no new build image about it. Why?

I'm currently working on getting Pulsar client upgraded to 3.0.13 for the Flink 1.18 connector in https://github.com/streamnative/flink-connector-pulsar/pull/7 . After that is done, I'll create a Flink Jira and submit to https://github.com/apache/flink-connector-pulsar and ping Flink committers to review. Then it would be time to check compatibility with newer Flink versions in CI and make the connector switch to Pulsar client 4.0.x. Currently there are classpath clashes with Jackson annotations dependency which prevent using Pulsar client 4.0.x with Flink Connector Pulsar.
