Hello and Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a joyful and restful holiday season.
Reflecting on 2024, Apache ORC had a productive year
marked by 10 releases, including the significant milestone of ORC 2.0.
This achievement would not have been possible without the
invaluable contributions from our community members.
We look forward to achieving more milestones in this upcoming year,
such as the release of ORC 2.1.0 in January alongside many others.
Thank you for your continued engagement and contributions.
Bests,
William
