AsyncAPI Spec 2.6.0 Release Notes

The new version of the AsyncAPI specification - 2.6.0 - is now available.

This is a minor release and doesn't bring any breaking changes. You can switch to it by modifying the following value in your AsyncAPI file asyncapi: '2.5.0' into asyncapi: '2.6.0'

Added Pulsar Bindings and Protocol to AsyncAPI specification

The specification now supports a new custom protocol through the bindings feature called Pulsar.
