+
+The Apache Arrow team is pleased to announce the 0.9.0 release. It is the
+product of over 3 months of development and includes [**260 resolved
+JIRAs**][1].
+
+While we made some of backwards-incompatible columnar binary format changes in
+last December's 0.8.0 release, the 0.9.0 release is backwards-compatible with
+0.8.0. We will be working toward a 1.0.0 release this year, which will mark
+longer-term binary stability for the Arrow columnar format and metadata.
+
+See the [Install Page][2] to learn how to get the libraries for your
+platform. The [complete changelog][3] is also available.
+
+We discuss some highlights from the release and other project news in this
+post. This release has been overall focused more on bug fixes, compatibility,
+and stability compared with previous releases which have pushed more on new and
+expanded features.
+
+## New Arrow committers and PMC members
+
+Since the last release, we have added 2 new Arrow committers: [Brian
+Hulette][4] and [Robert Nishihara][5]. Additionally, [Phillip Cloud][6] and
+[Philipp Moritz][7] have been promoted from committer to PMC
+member. Congratulations and thank you for your contributions!
+
+## Plasma Object Store Improvements
+
+The Plasma Object Store now supports managing interprocess shared memory on
+CUDA-enabled GPUs. We are excited to see more GPU-related functionality develop
+in Apache Arrow, as this has become a key computing environment for scalable
+machine learning.
+
+## Python Improvements
+
+[Antoine Pitrou][8] has joined the Python development efforts and helped
+significantly this release with interoperability with built-in CPython data
+structures and NumPy structured data types.
+
+* New experimental support for reading Apache ORC files
+* `pyarrow.array` now accepts lists of tuples or Python dicts for creating
+ Arrow struct type arrays.
+* NumPy structured dtypes (which are row/record-oriented) can be directly
+ converted to Arrow struct (column-oriented) arrays
+* Python 3.6 `pathlib` objects for file paths are now accepted in many file
+ APIs, including for Parquet files
+* Arrow integer arrays with nulls can now be converted to NumPy object arrays
+ with `None` values
+* New `pyarrow.foreign_buffer` API for interacting with memory blocks located
+ at particular memory addresses
+
+## Java Improvements
+
+Java now fully supports the `FixedSizeBinary` data type.
+
+## JavaScript Improvements
+
+The JavaScript library has been significantly refactored and expanded. We are
+making separate Apache releases (most recently `JS-0.3.1`) for JavaScript,
+which are being [published to NPM][9].
+
+## Upcoming Roadmap
+
+In the coming months, we will be working to move Apache Arrow closer to a 1.0.0
+release. We will also be discussing plans to develop native Arrow-based
+computational libraries within the project.
