+We are happy to present the new 2.77.0 release of Beam.
+This release includes both improvements and new functionality.
+See the [download page](/get-started/downloads/#2770-2026-09-??) for this 
release.

notes](https://github.com/apache/beam/milestone/44).
+
+## Highlights
+
+### I/Os
+
+* Added `schema_update_options` to `WriteToBigQuery` file loads, allowing 
BigQuery load jobs to add nullable fields or relax required fields when 
appending data (Python) ([#21141](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/21141)).
+* BigQueryIO now supports reading BigQuery Lakehouse runtime catalog (BigLake 
metastore) Iceberg tables with the Storage Read API, using 4-part 
`project.catalog.namespace.table` identifiers (or a `TableReference` with a 
composite `catalog.namespace` dataset id). Previously such references were 
silently mis-parsed (Java) 
([#39597](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39597)) .
+* SolaceIO now supports reading and writing binary and text content data 
payload (Java) ([#39875](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39875)).
+* ClickHouseIO: support writing `Decimal(P, S)` / `Decimal32/64/128/256` 
columns (Java) ([#39840](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39840)).
+* SolaceIO now supports reading and writing user properties (message metadata) 
(Java) ([#40099](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/40099)).
+* [IcebergIO] AddFiles (`IcebergAddFiles` in YAML) can evolve the table schema 
before registering files, with `schema_evolution_options`, `required_columns`, 
`incompatible_schema_handling` and `unverifiable_file_handling` (Java/YAML, 
batch only) ([#40144](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/40144)).
+
+### New Features / Improvements
+
+* (Java/Python) `Watch` can bound its deduplication state by event time, 
retiring an output key once the greatest emitted timestamp has moved more than 
the allowed lateness past it. Java adds 
`Watch.growthOf(...).withTimestampCursor()`. Python adds `allowed_lateness` for 
the existing `timestamp_cursor` option 
([#18459](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/18459)).
+* (Java) Spark Structured Streaming runner: stateful ParDo with state, timers, 
`@RequiresTimeSortedInput` and tagged outputs is now supported in batch mode 
([#39779](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39779)).
+* (Python) Added support for Vertex AI Model Monitoring V2 in RunInference 
([#39738](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39738)).
+* [Flink Runner] Added opt-in static round-robin split assignment for small 
bounded sources via the new `sourceStaticSplitThresholdMb` pipeline option. The 
default of 0 keeps the existing lazy pull-based assignment 
([#39873](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39873)).
+* Added automatic caching of bounded, single-pane side-input views for classic 
Java Flink DataStream execution 
([#39866](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39866)).
+* (Python) Added `Sample.Any`, the Python equivalent of Java's `Sample.any`, 
which returns up to n arbitrary elements from a PCollection 
([#18552](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/18552)).
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+* Portable Java SDK now encodes SchemaCoders in a portable way 
([#34672](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/34672)).
+  - Original custom Java coder encoding can still be obtained using 
[StreamingOptions.setUpdateCompatibilityVersion("2.76")](https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/2cf0930e7ae1aa389c26ce6639b584877a3e31d9/sdks/java/core/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/options/StreamingOptions.java#L47)
 ([#34672](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/34672)).
+  - Fixes ([#36496](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/36496)), 
([#30276](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/30276)), 
([#29245](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/29245)).
+* (Python) `TensorRTEngineHandlerNumPy` now requires TensorRT 10 or later. 
TensorRT 8.x is no longer supported, since TensorRT 10 removed the engine 
binding API the handler was written against 
([#36306](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/36306)).
+  - Engines serialized by TensorRT 8.x must be rebuilt, as an engine can only 
be deserialized by the major version that built it.
+  - TensorRT 10 and later require a GPU with compute capability 7.5 or higher, 
which excludes NVIDIA Pascal and Volta GPUs.
+  - If dropping TensorRT 8.x support is a hard blocker for you, please comment 
on ([#36306](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/36306)).
+
+### Bugfixes
+
+* (Java) Fixed the Spark runner firing processing-time timers in reverse 
timestamp order ([#39824](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39824)).
+* (Java) Fixed the Spark runner dropping the stored watermark of a streaming 
source with no update in a batch 
([#39822](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39822)).
+* (Python) Fixed incorrect profiler options handling on portable runners 
([#39613](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39613)).
+* (Java) KafkaIO dynamic reads no longer require the obsolete `beam_fn_api` 
experiment ([#29998](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/29998)).
+* (Prism) Self-checkpointing splittable DoFns now resume after their requested 
delay instead of immediately, so polling SDFs no longer busy-spin 
([#39848](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39848)).
+* (Java) MongoDbIO read splitting now preserves non-ObjectId `_id` types (e.g. 
string ids) instead of failing to parse the generated range filters 
([#39900](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39900)).
+* (Go) Fixed GCS glob matching silently dropping objects when the glob pattern 
contains multi-byte characters 
([#39969](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39969)).
+* (Python) Fixed `TensorRTEngineHandlerNumPy` failing with 
`CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE` on models with a single-element input or output 
tensor ([#36306](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/36306)).
+* (Python) Fixed 
`PickleCoder`/`_MemoizingPickleCoder.as_deterministic_coder()` raising 
`TypeError` instead of returning a working deterministic coder 
([#28558](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/28558)).
