Hi! Our last minor release, 4.4.0, was released ~7 months ago (May 2024), and the maintenance version of 4.4.1 was released almost 5 months ago. There have been many new changes since then covering
- Workload management improvements - User quotas for Admission Control - Roaring bitmap for Iceberg deletes - Calcite planner preparations - MERGE statement for Iceberg tables - Reading Puffin stat files for Iceberg tables - Improvements for OPTIMIZE statement - Tuple cache improvements - Optimizations for JSON format - Optimizations for Iceberg tables - Event processor improvements - Complex type improvements - Various performance improvements - Various diagnostic improvements I propose that we release 4.5.0 soon. I'm willing to volunteer as the release manager. I'm interested to hear what the community thinks about doing a release. All feedback is welcome! Cheers, Peter
