([\#17696](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/17696))
+    - Spark: Remove deprecated `SparkFilters` 
([\#17702](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/17702))
+    - Flink: Remove deprecated `RewriteDataFiles.Builder.filter(Expression)` 
([\#17624](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/17624))
+    - Core, Data, Spark, Flink: Remove position delete files with row data 
([\#17706](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/17706))

+    - Spark 4.0, 4.1: Remove deprecated `SparkTableUtil` methods 
([\#17703](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/17703))
+    - Spark: Remove deprecated `SparkReadConf`, `SparkWriteConf`, and 
`SparkSchemaUtil` methods 
([\#17626](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/17626))
+    - Core: Remove deprecated REST namespace encoding helpers 
([\#17697](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/17697))
+    - Core: Remove deprecated `HadoopFileIO(SerializableSupplier)` constructor 
([\#17704](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/17704))
+    - Core, ORC: Remove deprecated partition stats read functionality

+    - Spark: Deprecate `SparkFilters` in favor of `SparkV2Filters` 
([\#16616](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/16616))
+* Behavior change
+    - `GeometryType` and `GeographyType` `toString()` now always include the 
resolved CRS, and for geography the edge algorithm: `geometry` prints as 
`geometry(OGC:CRS84)` and `geography` as `geography(OGC:CRS84, spherical)` 
([\#16765](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/16765)).
+    Previously, default instances printed the bare type name (`geometry` / 
`geography`).
+    - The default AWS SDK HTTP client migrated to Apache HttpClient 5. Users 
who provide AWS dependencies separately must switch from 
`software.amazon.awssdk:apache-client` to 
`software.amazon.awssdk:apache5-client` 
([\#18195](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/18195)).
+    - The REST client now retries POST requests carrying an `Idempotency-Key` 
on retriable errors (408, 500, 502, 503, 504) 
([\#17947](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/17947)).
+* Spec

Review Comment:
   We can always improve. The spec has different release cycle, and it is not 
tied to the binary release.
