+
+### Parquet Page Index Improvements
+
+[@etseidl] made several improvements to Parquet page index handling: a new
+`PageIndex` struct encapsulating column and offset indexes ([#10719]), new
+`PageIndexBuilder` and `PageIndexProvider` types ([#10842]), and page index
+decoders are now public ([#10899]).

+
+### Parquet NDV Statistics, FILE Logical Type, and IEEE 754 Total Order
+
+[@Rich-T-kid] implemented writing num distinct values (NDV) statistics in the
+Parquet writer ([#10654]) and added row-group-level distinct counts to
+`StatisticsConverter` ([#10652]). Query engines use these to make better
+planning decisions such as join strategy selection and filter selectivity
+estimates.
+
+[@brkyvz] added support for the `FILE` logical type ([#10109]). [@etseidl]
+implemented [PARQUET-2249] IEEE 754 total order for floating-point comparisons
+([#9619]) and the corresponding `INT96` timestamp `ColumnOrder` ([#10106]).
+[@etseidl] also removed the previous limit of 32,768 row groups per file
+([#10149]).

+
+### New `arrow-cmp` Crate
+
+[@Rich-T-kid] introduced the [`arrow-cmp`] crate ([#10325]), splitting
+comparison kernel logic into its own focused crate. This makes it possible to
+depend on Arrow comparison operations without pulling in the full `arrow`
crate.
+
+[`arrow-cmp`]: https://crates.io/crates/arrow-cmp
+[#10325]: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/10325
+
+## Panic Elimination
+
+A lot of work went into converting panics into proper `Result` returns this
+release. [@emilk] fixed `try_` functions still panicking in edge cases
([#10730],
+[#10755]) and removed panics from `GenericByteArray::from_iter_values`
([#10729]).
+[@bit2swaz] replaced panics with errors in IPC schema and footer parsing
+([#10647], [#10744]) and closed an FFI `Drop` soundness hole ([#10431]).
+[@Rich-T-kid] fixed a potential use-after-free in `Buffer::shrink_to_fit`
([#10932])
+and converted `MutableBuffer` panicking callsites to fallible methods
([#10641],
+[#10317]). [@okhsunrog] made `interleave`/`concat` return errors on dictionary
key
+overflow ([#10675]). [@ranflarion] converted a Parquet buffer push panic into
an
+error ([#10564]) and [@dhruvxvaishnav] did the same for invalid dictionary
index
+bit widths ([#10725]).

+
+## Performance Improvements
+
+This release has a large number of performance improvements across kernels,
+casting, and Parquet I/O.
+
+[@Rich-T-kid] made several take/filter kernel improvements: faster `take` on
+`List<T>` by avoiding bounds checks ([#10812]), `FixedSizeList` ([#10441]),
+run-end encoded arrays ([#10325]), boolean and null buffers ([#10813]), and
faster
+`filter` on `FixedSizeBinary` ([#10993]). [@Rich-T-kid] also optimized
+`NullBuffer::expand` for aligned and non-aligned counts ([#10976], [#10980])
+and sped up plain Parquet string column reads into dictionary arrays
([#10614]).
+
+[@neilconway] contributed a series of decimal speedups: scanning integer and
+fractional digits in separate loops ([#10974]), counting digits to skip
+precision checks ([#10998]), general decimal-from-string optimizations
([#10668]),
+and formatting `i256` without `num-bigint` ([#11000]).
+
+[@alamb] reduced binary size by about 2% by monomorphizing `PrimitiveArray to
+ArrayData` conversion and `Debug` formatting helpers ([#10893], [#10890]).
+[@adriangb] sped up `DELTA_BYTE_ARRAY` shared prefix scanning a block at a
+time ([#10549]) and removed redundant copies in Parquet mask-backed
+intersection/union ([#10446]).
+
+[@YUZHEthefool] improved `rank` performance for
+byte-view arrays via prefix key caching ([#10605]). [@giladkl] sped up
+equality/inequality comparisons of byte-view arrays against short scalars
+([#10689]). [@cakeni] replaced multiple `BufferBuilder` usages with `Vec`
+across `concat_elements`, `take_run`, `substring`, and other kernels
([#10629]-[#10634]).
+[@kowanietz] did the same for primitive unary operations ([#10783]) and
+fixed-size binary take ([#10773]). [@haohuaijin] fixed in-place bitwise ops
+corrupting bits outside the requested range ([#10444]) and cached Mask reads
+crossing unloaded sparse pages ([#10735]).

+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+[@neilconway] fixed a cluster of decimal bugs including incorrect `Decimal256`
+casting to signed integers ([#10857]), wrong min/max statistics for
`BYTE_ARRAY`
+decimals ([#10861]), mismatched scales in `make_comparator` ([#10864]),
+formatting bugs ([#10869]), and a spurious assert when `scale == precision`
+([#10875]).
+
+[@yongster] fixed `take` for null indices in dense union and run-end encoded
+arrays ([#10909]).
+
+[@1fanwang] and [@tpoterba] fixed `take` and `interleave` on zero-width
+`FixedSizeListArray` ([#10915], [#11026]).
+
+[@jaideeppyne] fixed struct `ArrayData` slicing double-counting the offset
+([#10835], [#10934]). [@linhongyu510] fixed struct null validation not
+accounting for parent offsets ([#10970]).
+
+[@PlenoraETL] made the IPC reader return an error for a `DictionaryBatch`
+missing its data instead of silently producing wrong results ([#11020]).
+[@bit2swaz] made `FFI_ArrowSchema::with_metadata` `unsafe` to close a
+soundness gap ([#10764]).
+
+[@adriangb] fixed `DELTA_BYTE_ARRAY` deduplication for values larger than
+the page size limit ([#10505]).

+## Other Notable Changes
+
+- [@adamreeve] added round-trip support for `Dictionary(_,
Utf8View/BinaryView)`
+ columns in Parquet ([#10831])
+- [@ranflarion] improved Parquet bloom filters: populate from the dictionary
+ while a column is dictionary encoded ([#10966]) and added a writer option to
+ skip bloom filters for all-dictionary column chunks ([#10963])
+- [@haohuaijin] added row-group-local `RowSelection` support to the push
+ decoder ([#10702])
+- [@1fanwang] added `Utf8View` and `BinaryView` support to `substring`
([#10672])

+
+[60.0.0 changelog]: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/blob/60.0.0/CHANGELOG.md
+
+## Highlights
+
+This release includes new Parquet encoding support, a sustained effort to
remove
+panics from the codebase, a large number of kernel performance improvements,
and
+many bug fixes across decimals, take/filter, and FFI.
+
+MSRV is bumped to 1.88,
+`rand` upgraded to 0.10, `object_store` to 0.14.1, and several long-deprecated
+items have been removed. See the [60.0.0 changelog] for the full breaking
+changes list.
+
+## New Features
+
+### Parquet ALP Encoder/Decoder Support
+
+[@sdf-jkl] added support for the [Adaptive Lossless floating-Point (ALP)]
+encoding in Parquet ([#9372]). ALP is a high-performance encoding for
+floating-point columns that improves both compression ratios and read
throughput.
+This makes arrow-rs one of the first Rust implementations to support ALP,
+keeping the [parquet] crate aligned with the latest Parquet specification.
+
+[Adaptive Lossless floating-Point (ALP)]: https://github.com/cwida/ALP
+[@sdf-jkl]: https://github.com/sdf-jkl
+[#9372]: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/9372
+
+### Parquet Page Index Improvements
+
+[@etseidl] made several improvements to Parquet page index handling: a new
+`PageIndex` struct encapsulating column and offset indexes ([#10719]), new
+`PageIndexBuilder` and `PageIndexProvider` types ([#10842]), and page index
+decoders are now public ([#10899]).
+
+[@etseidl]: https://github.com/etseidl
+[#10719]: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/10719
+[#10842]: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/10842
+[#10899]: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/10899
+
+### Parquet NDV Statistics, FILE Logical Type, and IEEE 754 Total Order
+
+[@Rich-T-kid] implemented writing num distinct values (NDV) statistics in the
+Parquet writer ([#10654]) and added row-group-level distinct counts to
+`StatisticsConverter` ([#10652]). Query engines use these to make better
+planning decisions such as join strategy selection and filter selectivity
+estimates.
+
+[@brkyvz] added support for the `FILE` logical type ([#10109]). [@etseidl]
+implemented [PARQUET-2249] IEEE 754 total order for floating-point comparisons
+([#9619]) and the corresponding `INT96` timestamp `ColumnOrder` ([#10106]).
+[@etseidl] also removed the previous limit of 32,768 row groups per file
+([#10149]).

+[#10149]: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/10149
+
+### New `arrow-cmp` Crate
+
+[@Rich-T-kid] introduced the [`arrow-cmp`] crate ([#10325]), splitting
+comparison kernel logic into its own focused crate. This makes it possible to
+depend on Arrow comparison operations without pulling in the full `arrow`
crate.
+
+[`arrow-cmp`]: https://crates.io/crates/arrow-cmp
+[#10325]: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/10325
+
+## Panic Elimination
+
+A lot of work went into converting panics into proper `Result` returns this
+release. [@emilk] fixed `try_` functions still panicking in edge cases
([#10730],
+[#10755]) and removed panics from `GenericByteArray::from_iter_values`
([#10729]).
+[@bit2swaz] replaced panics with errors in IPC schema and footer parsing
+([#10647], [#10744]) and closed an FFI `Drop` soundness hole ([#10431]).
+[@Rich-T-kid] fixed a potential use-after-free in `Buffer::shrink_to_fit`
([#10932])
+and converted `MutableBuffer` panicking callsites to fallible methods
([#10641],
+[#10317]). [@okhsunrog] made `interleave`/`concat` return errors on dictionary
key
+overflow ([#10675]). [@ranflarion] converted a Parquet buffer push panic into
an
+error ([#10564]) and [@dhruvxvaishnav] did the same for invalid dictionary
index
+bit widths ([#10725]).

+
+## Performance Improvements
+
+This release has a large number of performance improvements across kernels,
+casting, and Parquet I/O.
+
+[@Rich-T-kid] made several take/filter kernel improvements: faster `take` on
Review Comment:
I might help to summarize these speedups with numbers or some other summary
-- the specific list is impressive, but likely will be hard to understand the
implications for users of the arrow crate (other than just 'it is faster')

Review Comment:
I think another major usecase for this is providing external (e.g. cached)
PageIndexes -- it might be nice to mention that. Maybe @etseidl can let me
know anything else I may have missed
