Sorry, this is not a bug in debezium itself - but probably rather in the build pipeline (or a complete misunderstanding from my side).

Anyhow, I noticed that the contents of the io.debezium:debezium-connector-mysql:3.1.2.Final jar file downloaded from maven central does not match the code in https://github.com/debezium/debezium/tree/v3.1.2.Final/debezium-connector-mysql

Specifically changes from this PR is included in the tag but not in the jar: https://github.com/debezium/debezium/pull/6475/files (META-INF/services/org.apache.kafka.connect.rest.ConnectRestExtension is included in the jar).

According to the manifest in the jar file it was built from this commit: https://github.com/debezium/debezium/commit/99e2d1b84002a68ea1b276f068f5ba55507a60a3

Could you please clarify, and make sure that future releases are actually built from the tagged revision?
