95.5 is a minor bugfix release focusing on UI performance and resolving some regressions introduced by Kpow 95.4.
Revert Kafka client libraries
95.4 updated our dependency on the Kafka clients library to 4.1.1. Some customers have reported that upgrading to 95.5 resulted in being unable to authenticate to their Kafka cluster with OAuth.
This is an open bug in Kafka that was reported in KAFKA-20184. We have reverted our dependency on the Kafka clients library back to 4.0.0 until this gets resolved.
Major UI performance overhaul
Table rendering is up to 50x faster on large 100k+ row datasets such as topic partitions and group member assignments.
The performance gains come from overhauling how we compute UI data by using better sorting algorithms, deferring computation until it is actually required by the UI, and employing smarter rendering strategies.
