+
+I am happy to announce the third maintenance release of the Debezium 2.7 release stream, **2.7.3.Final**.
+This maintenance release focuses on addressing stability and regressions, with several improvements.
+Let's dive into these changes...

+[id="new-features-and-improvements"]
+== New features and improvements
+
+Debezium 2.7.3.Final introduces a couple improvements and features, lets take a look at each individually.
+
+=== MariaDB 11.4.3
+
+Debezium 3 also introduces support for the most recent non-rolling release of MariaDB, 11.4.3 (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DBZ-8226[DBZ-8226]).
+We are also closing monitoring the MariaDB 11.6 release cycle and plan to introduce vector data type support when MariaDB 11.6 becomes stable.
+
+=== Oracle offline RAC node flush improvements
+
+In recent improvements to the Oracle RAC node flush strategy, it was determined that a three-second delay was being forced when an Oracle RAC node was taken offline by the database administrator.
+Since an Oracle RAC node cannot perform any writes to the redo logs while offline, this three-second delay introduced an unnecessary amount of latency while the node remained offline.
+
+In Debezium 3, the three-second delay is only imposed if a connection is active to an Oracle RAC node; however, the flush SQL operation was unsuccessful.
+This means that when database administrators take RAC nodes offline for maintenance, no latency overhead will be imposed by the connector (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DBZ-8177[DBZ-8177]).
+
