+
+The Apache Arrow team is pleased to announce the version 16 release of
+the Apache Arrow ADBC libraries. This release includes [**15
+resolved issues**][1] from [**11 distinct contributors**][2].
+
+This is a release of the **libraries**, which are at version 16. The
+[**API specification**][specification] is versioned separately and is at
+version 1.1.0.
+
+The subcomponents are versioned independently:
+
+- C/C++/GLib/Go/Python/Ruby: 1.4.0
+- C#: 0.16.0
+- Java: 0.16.0
+- R: 0.16.0
+- Rust: 0.16.0
+
+The release notes below are not exhaustive and only expose selected
+highlights of the release. Many other bugfixes and improvements have
+been made: we refer you to the [complete changelog][3].
+
+## Release Highlights
+
+This release focused mostly on bugfixes.
+
+The C# ADO.NET adapter can now parse connection properties from the connection
string ([#2352](https://github.com/apache/arrow-adbc/pull/2352)). The driver
for various Thrift-based systems (Hive/Impala/Spark) now supports timeout
options ([#2312](https://github.com/apache/arrow-adbc/pull/2312)). A package
was added to wrap the Arrow Flight SQL driver (written in Go) from C#
([#2214](https://github.com/apache/arrow-adbc/pull/2214)).
+
+The PostgreSQL driver was fixed to properly return unknown types as
`arrow.opaque` again ([#2450](https://github.com/apache/arrow-adbc/pull/2450))
and to avoid issuing an unnecessary `COMMIT` which would cause the driver and
connection state to get out of sync
([#2412](https://github.com/apache/arrow-adbc/pull/2412)).
+
+Python packages only require manylinux2014 again; the baseline glibc
requirement was unintentionally raised in the last release and has now been
reverted ([#2350](https://github.com/apache/arrow-adbc/issues/2350)).
+
+A breaking change was made in the unstable Rust APIs to return a `Result` from
a fallible function ([#2334](https://github.com/apache/arrow-adbc/pull/2334)).
An `adbc_snowflake` crate was added to wrap the Snowflake driver (written in
Go) into the Rust APIs, though it is not yet being published
([#2207](https://github.com/apache/arrow-adbc/pull/2207)).

+
+## Roadmap
+
+There is some discussion on a potential second revision of ADBC to include
more missing functionality and asynchronous API support. For more, see the
[milestone](https://github.com/apache/arrow-adbc/milestone/8); the proposed C
Data Interface extensions have been accepted.
+
+We would welcome comments on APIs that could be added or extended, for
instance see [#1704](https://github.com/apache/arrow-adbc/issues/1704).
+
+## Getting Involved
+
+We welcome questions and contributions from all interested. Issues
+can be filed on [GitHub][4], and questions can be directed to GitHub
+or the [Arrow mailing lists][5].
