March 2026 monthly summary for apache/flink-cdc: Focused feature delivery to enhance PostgreSQL CDC capabilities and configuration flexibility, enabling richer metadata for downstream pipelines and safer table-options parsing. No major bug fixes recorded this month. Highlights include enhancements to expose operation timestamps, table names, database names, and schema names in CDC streams, and the addition of a semicolon delimiter option for table-options to support values with commas or special characters.
