                <p>You can now use Apache Pulsar®  channel to send and receive messages from a Pulsar broker. The Pulsar channel converts the incoming Pulsar messages to BusinessEvents events and transforms BusinessEvents events as outgoing Pulsar messages. </p>

                    <p>A new serializer KafkaAvroSerializer serializer (<code>com.tibco.cep.driver.kafka.serializer.KafkaAvroSerializer</code>) has been added to support Apache Avro™ schemas.</p>
                    <p>TIBCO BusinessEvents® Enterprise Edition now supports validation of Apache Kafka® messages by using Schema Registry. Schema Registry ensures data consistency and increases data quality. In this release, Confluent Schema Registry and TIBCO Schema Registry are supported. </p>

                    <p>You can use DataStax CDC for Apache Cassandra® to read Change Data Capture (CDC) changes and publish messages to pulsar topics. Then Pulsar channel processes messages published on the pulsar topic and ingest events into TIBCO BusinessEvents® Enterprise Edition application. </p>
                    <p>Apache Cassandra™ Store Catalog functions available in the TIBCO BusinessEvents Contribution repository in GitHub allows you to connect to external Cassandra and perform different operations.</p>

                    <p>Earlier locking was implemented as part of the cluster provider: FTL, Ignite, or Legacy ActiveSpaces. Now you can implement locking on the underlying store. Store-based locking provides a single consistent way of locking irrespective of cluster and store provider combination.</p>
