For best performance using WAN Replication, all members should be connected directly by source clusters. To achieve this topology, we have introduced the WithExposeExternally parameter for Advanced WAN Network configuration at Hazelcast custom resource. For more info Configuring WAN Protocol Sockets

In the 5.13 release, improvements have been made to the WANReplication custom resource to provide more accurate and detailed statuses and validations.

With the release of Hazelcast Platform 5.5, you can use multi-member routing to provide greater performance and stability for Java client applications connecting to geographically dispersed clusters.

On the Platform Operator side, you can utilize this feature using High Availability Mode. For more info, see High Availability Mode and MULTI_MEMBER Routing.

For detailed release notes that include new features and enhancements, breaking changes, deprecations and other fixes, see 5.13 Release Notes.
