## Go notes
### Security
* Updated testify dependency to address CVE-2022-28948.
([ARROW-16759](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16759)) (This was
also backported to previous versions and released as patch versions v6.0.2,
v7.0.1, and v8.0.1)
### Arrow
#### New Features
* Dictionary Scalars are now available
([ARROW-16323](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16323))
* Introduced a DictionaryUnifier object along with functions for unifying
Chunked Arrays and Tables
([ARROW-16324](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16324))
* New CSV examples added to documentation to demonstrate error handling
([ARROW-16450](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16450))
* CSV Reader now supports arrow.TimestampType
([ARROW-16504](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16504))
* JSON parsing for Temporal Types now allow passing numeric values in
addition to strings for parsing. Timezones will be properly parsed if they
exist in the string and a function was added to retrieve a time.Location object
from a TimestampType
([ARROW-16551](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16551))
* New utilities added to decimal128 for rescaling and easy conversion to and
from float32/float64
([ARROW-16552](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16552))
* Arrow DataType interface now has a LayoutMethod which returns the physical
layout of the given datatype such as the number of buffers, types, etc. This
matches the behavior of the layout() methods in C++ for data types.
([ARROW-16556](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16556))
* Added a SliceBuffer function to the memory package to allow better
re-using of memory across buffer objects
([ARROW-16557](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16557))
* Dictionary Arrays can now be concatenated using array.Concatenate
([ARROW-17095](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17095))
#### Bug Fixes
* ipc.FileReader now properly uses the memory.Allocator interface
([ARROW-16002](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16002))
* Addressed issue with Integration tests between Go and Java
([ARROW-16441](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16441))
* RecordBuilder.UnmarshalJSON now properly ignores extra unknown fields
rather than panic'ing
([ARROW-16456](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16456))
* StructBuilder.UnmarshalJSON will no longer fail and panic when Nullable
fields are missing
([ARROW-16502](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16502))
* ipc.Reader no longer silently accepts string columns with invalid offsets,
preventing unexpected panics later when writing or accessing the resulting
arrays. ([ARROW-16831](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16831))
* Arrow CSV reader no longer clobbers its reported errors and properly
surfaces them ([ARROW-16926](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16926))
### Parquet
#### New Features
* The CreatedBy version string for the Parquet writer will now correctly
reflect the library version, and will be updated by the release scripts
([ARROW-16484](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16484))
* Parquet bit_packing functions now have ARM64 NEON implementations for
performance ([ARROW-16486](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16486))
* It is now possible to customize the root node in the Parquet writer
instead of hardcoding it to be named "schema" with a repetition type of
Repeated. This was needed to allow producing files similar to spark where the
root node has a repetition type of Required. It still defaults to the spec
definition of Repeated.
([ARROW-16561](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16561))
* parquet_reader CLI mainprog has been enhanced to dump values out as JSON
and CSV along with setting an output file instead of just dumping to the
terminal. ([ARROW-16934](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16934))
#### Bug Fixes
* Fixed a memory leak with Parquet page reading
([ARROW-16473](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16473))
* Parquet Reader properly parallelizes column reads when the parallel option
is set to true.
([ARROW-16530](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16530))
* Fixed bug in the Bool decoder for plain encoding
([ARROW-16563](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16563))
* Fixed a bug in the Parquet bool column reader where it failed to properly
skip rows ([ARROW-16638](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16638))
* Fixed the flakey travis ARM64 builds by reducing the size of a test case
in the pqarrow unit tests to reduce the memory usage for the tests.
([ARROW-16669](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16669))
* Parquet writer now properly handles writing arrow.NULL type arrays
([ARROW-16749](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16749))
* Column level dictionary encoding configuration for Parquet writing now
correctly respects the input value
([ARROW-16813](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16813))
* Memory leak in DeltaByteArray encoding fixed
([ARROW-16983](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16983))
