USM Agent release notes

This page lists each USM Agent release, its release date, and what changed. The USM Agent is a self-managed component that is versioned independently of the Confluent Platform release cycle, so a single agent version can support multiple Confluent Platform versions.

To check version compatibility between the USM Agent and Confluent Platform, see Unified Stream Manager Agent. For Confluent Platform release information, see Release Notes for Confluent Platform 8.3. For USM updates in Confluent Cloud, see the Confluent Cloud release notes.
