+The Apache Arrow team is pleased to announce the 21.0.0 release. This release
+covers over 2 months of development work and includes [**1234 resolved
+issues**][1] on [**1234 distinct commits**][2] from [**1234 distinct
+contributors**][2]. See the [Install Page](https://arrow.apache.org/install/)
to
+learn how to get the libraries for your platform.
+
+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].
+
+## Community
+
+Since the 20.0.0 release, Alenka Frim has been invited to join the Project
+Management Committee (PMC).
+
+Thanks for your contributions and participation in the project!
+
+## Release Highlights
+
+## Columnar Format
+
+## Arrow Flight RPC Notes
+
+## C++ Notes
+
+### Acero
+
+### Compute
+
+The Cast function is now able to reorder fields when casting from one
+struct type to another; the fields are matched by name, not by index
(GH-45028).
+
+Many compute kernels have been moved into a separate, optional, shared library
+(GH-25025). This allows reducing the Arrow C++ distribution size when the
+compute functionality is not being used by the application. Note that some
+compute functions, such as the Cast function, will still be built for internal
+use in various Arrow components.
Review Comment:
```suggestion
(GH-25025). This improves modularity for dependency management in the
application and reduces the Arrow C++ distribution size when the compute
functionality is not being used. Note that some compute functions, such as
the Cast function, will still be built for internal use in various Arrow
components.
```

Review Comment:
We can also mention the improved modularity perhaps?
