+:toc-class: none
+
+The Apache Hop community is happy to announce the release of Apache Hop 2.19!
+
+This release brings the largest set of changes we've delivered so far: **22
contributors**, including 6 first-time contributors, worked on new features,
improvements, and fixes over the past three months, closing **337 issues**.

+
+Or https://hop.apache.org/download/[**download Hop 2.19.0**] and give it a try.
+
+== The Marketplace
+
+The biggest change in 2.19 is the introduction of the Hop Marketplace. Plugins
can now be installed, updated, and managed directly from the Hop GUI.
+
+image::/img/Release-2.19/marketplace.png[The Marketplace, width="75%"]
+
+This removes the need for manual downloads and copying JAR files into plugin
directories. The Marketplace supports GitHub, Forgejo, and Gitea registries and
will continue to evolve as more plugins become available.
+
+== Native Spark engine
+
+Apache Hop 2.19 introduces a dedicated Spark pipeline execution engine and a
native Spark SQL transform.
+Both components are built specifically for Spark execution and are independent
from the Beam-based execution engine. Users running Hop workloads on Spark can
now take advantage of native Spark support.
+
+== Databricks file system support
+
+Databricks Unity Catalog Volumes (Files API) are now available as a supported
VFS.
+Hop can read from and write to Unity Catalog Volumes through file-based
transforms, using the same approach as other supported file systems.
+
+== Append support for Cloud File systems
+
+Append operations are now supported across all major cloud storage providers:
GCS, Azure, and S3.
+This brings consistent append behavior across Hop's cloud file system
integrations.
+
+== SFTP metadata type
+
+SFTP is now available as a dedicated metadata type in Hop.
+
+image::/img/Release-2.19/sftp-metadata.png[SFTP metadata type, width="75%"]
+
+Connections can be configured once and reused across pipelines and transforms,
avoiding duplicated connection settings.
+
+== Open and edit more file types
+
+The Hop GUI can now open and edit additional file types directly from the IDE,
including YAML, sh, cmd, bat, and Markdown files.
+These files include syntax highlighting, allowing users to manage more of
their workflow assets without leaving Hop.
+
+== Split view in the UI
+
+The pipeline editor now supports a split view, allowing two areas of a
pipeline to be displayed side by side.
+This makes navigating and editing larger pipelines easier, especially when
working with complex workflows.
+
+== Redis
+
+Support for Redis Input, Redis Output, and Redis connection metadata has been
added in 2.19.
+
+image::/img/Release-2.19/redis.png[Redis, width="75%"]
+
+Redis is now available as a native integration in Hop, without requiring
custom solutions.
+
+== vCard support
+
+vCard Input and Output transforms are now available in Hop, allowing users to
read and write contact information using the vCard format.
+[[notable-bug-fixes]]
+
+== Notable Bug Fixes
+
+Some of the notable fixes included in Apache Hop 2.19:
+
+* Hop Server — fixed memory leaks, resource export issues, workflow metrics,
and log level handling during remote execution.
+* Unzip action — improved performance when processing large archives
containing many small files.
+* Shell states and positioning — shell state information is now restored
correctly after restart.
+* Variable and project reload — fixed issues where files could close
unexpectedly after environment refresh.
+* Unit tests — improved design-time variable handling, UX, and test stability.
+* Database object quoting — fixed catalog and schema identifier quoting across
multiple database types.
+* Pipeline buffer deadlocks — added detection and mitigation for buffer
deadlock scenarios.
+
+== New contributors
+
+Apache Hop 2.19 includes contributions from six first-time contributors:
