Nacos 3.3.0-BETA

Nacos 3.3.0-BETA is a feature iteration release for the Nacos 3.x series.

This release focuses on:

  • Protocol-neutral Agent registration, management, and discovery.
  • Agentic Resource Discovery for AI Registry resources.
  • Dynamic plugin configuration and management.
  • Distributed lock capabilities.
  • Spring Boot 4 and Jackson 3 compatibility.

The main feature updates include:

  • Agent lifecycle management, endpoint discovery, SDKs, Console support, and legacy A2A compatibility.
  • Hybrid keyword and vector discovery for Skill, Prompt, and MCP resources.
  • Runtime plugin configuration and AI resource visibility authorization.
  • Phase 1 distributed reentrant and non-reentrant locks.

It also includes Skill workflow improvements, security hardening, compatibility fixes, performance optimizations, and dependency updates.

  • [#15557] Fix server startup failures when plugin state snapshots are restored before unified plugin discovery.
  • [#15603] Fix visibility query conversion when explicitly authorized resources are present.
  • [#15618] Fix Skill upload version resolution to try lower-priority explicit versions before generating a version.
  • [#15620] Allow AI resource versions to be resubmitted after completed or stale review results.

Dependencies

  • [#15584] Upgrade Maven Compiler Plugin from 3.5.1 to 3.15.0 for JDK 25 build compatibility.
  • [#15645] Upgrade compatible Console UI Next dependencies and regenerate packaged frontend assets.

Breaking Change Notice

Nacos 3.3 removes legacy Config migration compatibility paths and changes how unsafe AI resource Config keys are mapped.

Affected users:

  • Users upgrading from a version earlier than Nacos 3.0 whose Config data uses the legacy empty tenant for the default namespace.
  • Users with legacy beta or tag gray-release data in config_info_beta or config_info_tag.
  • Users of the nacos_config AI storage provider with historical non-ASCII or overlength resource identifiers.

Recommended upgrade path:

  • Upgrade pre-3.0 deployments to an earlier Nacos 3.x version first.
  • Migrate default-namespace data from the empty tenant to public.
  • Migrate legacy beta and tag data to config_info_gray.
  • Explicitly migrate affected AI resource Config coordinates to the new deterministic ASCII-safe mapping.
  • Back up the database and verify the migration in a staging environment before upgrading to Nacos 3.3.0-BETA.

Users already running Nacos 3.x who do not have affected AI Config coordinates are not impacted by these migration removals.
