Kafka connect version requirement?

[Gyllsdorff]

Does this connector require a specific kafka connect version? Can we for example use the confluentinc/cp-kafka-connect:8.0.1 with Kafka connect 4 as the base image together with this plugin?

I am unfamiliar with the confluent kafka-connect. This connector is built against Apache Kafka 3.6+ versions and should be usable with any Kafka 3.6+ versions. I do not know if it works with 4.x

I'm incurring in issues with Confluent Kafka Connect 8+, at least when using Protobuf. Those issues were not there with Confluent Kafka Connect 7.9.

So I guess the connector is not fully tested with KC8 yet.

I opened an issue... #157

Kafka Connect highest release is 4.x.
