0.24.0-rc1

Main Changes since 0.23.1

• Fixed regression about producing messages not working when CORS is enabled
• Dependency updates (Netty 4.1.86.Final)
• Refactored producer, consumer and admin endpoints by using the Apache Kafka client API instead of the Vert.x one
• Removed the usage of the Vert.x Config component for reading the bridge configuration
• Replaced the Vert.x JSON handling with Jackson

Changes, deprecations and removals

Support for bridge.tracing=jaeger tracing based on Jaeger clients and OpenTracing API was deprecated in the 0.22.0 release.
As the Jaeger clients are retired and the OpenTracing project is archived, we cannot guarantee their support for future versions.
In the 0.22.0 release, we added support for OpenTelemetry tracing as a replacement.
If possible, we will maintain the support for bridge.tracing=jaeger tracing until June 2023 and remove it afterwards.
Please migrate to OpenTelemetry as soon as possible.

Full list of addressed issues can be found under the 0.24.0 milestone.
