They are not tied to the release of any implementation, so specification +changes are tracked here rather than in the release notes of the Java or any +other implementation. + +This page records changes to the specifications under the `format` directory. +Changes to the REST catalog specification are not covered here. + +## What is recorded + +A specification version is listed once it is adopted, with a summary of its main +changes. The full set of changes in each table specification version is +described in [Appendix E](spec.md#appendix-e-format-version-changes). + +After a version is adopted, every change to it is recorded here. A change is +listed under the most recent version it affects. Many changes also apply to +earlier versions, because the specifications describe all versions in a single +document; such changes are not repeated under each version. + +Each entry links the vote that adopted the change. Changes that do not require a +vote, such as grammar, spelling and minor formatting fixes, are not recorded. + +## Table specification Review Comment: nit: This looks to be inconsistent with the section title in https://iceberg.apache.org/spec/, where the shorter "spec" has been used. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
