August 2025: Delivered targeted documentation enhancement in hazelcast/hz-docs to clarify the Java client async-start semantics. The update states that when async-start is false, the Java client waits for all cluster members defined by routing mode to connect before the client is considered ready, reducing ambiguity and improving developer onboarding. This aligns documentation with actual client behavior and supports more reliable deployments.
