 ### Librdkafka compression Fix
 
-Included in the Apache Kafka broker v4.0 was some special cases handling for deprecated versions of ProduceRequest (

-librdkafka clients older than v2.11.0 from enabling compression when connecting via the proxy. As librdkafka supports a
-wide variety of language bindings we are releasing this fix as a special patch release rather than waiting for v0.18.0.
