+No new members have joined the Project Management Committee (PMC).
+
+Thanks for your contributions and participation in the project!
+
+## Linux packages notes
+
+- We dropped support for Debian GNU/Linux bullseye
+
+## C Data Interface notes
+
+- `ArrowDeviceArrayStream` can now be imported and exported (GH-40078)
+
+## Arrow Flight RPC notes
+
+- Flight SQL was formally stabilized (GH-39204).
+- Flight SQL added a bulk ingestion command (GH-38255).
+- The JDBC Flight SQL driver now accepts "catalog" as a connection parameter
(GH-41947).
+- "Stateless" prepared statements are now supported (GH-37220, GH-41262).
+- Java added `FlightStatusCode.RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED` (GH-35888).
+- C++ has some basic support for logging with OpenTelemetry (GH-39898).
+
+## C++ notes
+
+- Half-float values can now be parsed and formatted correctly (GH-41089).
+- Record batches can now be converted to row-major tensors, not only
column-major (GH-40866).
+- The CSV writer is now able to write large string arrays that are larger than
+ 2 GiB (GH-40270).
+- A possible invalid memory access in `BooleanArray.true_count()` has been
fixed (GH-41016).
+- A new method `FlattenRecursively` allows recursive nesting of list and
+ fixed-size list arrays (GH-41055).
+- The scratch space in some `Scalar` subclasses is now immutable. This is
required
+ for proper concurrent access to `Scalar` instances (GH-40069).
+- Calling the `bit_width` or `byte_width` method of an extension type now
defers
+ to the underlying storage type (GH-41353).
+- Fixed a bug where `MapArray::FromArrays` would behave incorrectly if the
given
+ offsets array has a non-zero offset (GH-40750).
+- `MapArray::FromArrays` now accepts an optional null bitmap argument
+ (GH-41684).
+- The `ARROW_NO_DEPRECATED_API` macro was unused and has been removed
(GH-41343).
+
+### Acero
+
+- The left anti join filter no longer crashes when the filter rows are empty
(GH-41121).
+- A race condition was fixed in the asof join (GH-41149).
+- A potential stack overflow has been fixed (GH-41334, GH-41738).
+- A potential crash on very large data has been fixed (GH-41813).
+- Asof join and sort merge join now support single threaded mode (GH-41190).
+
+### Compute
+
+- List views and maps are now supported by the `if_else`, `case_when` and
+ `coalesce` functions (GH-41418).
+- List views are now supported by the functions `list_slice` (GH-42065),
+ `list_parent_indices` (GH-42235), `take` and `filter` (GH-42116).
+- `list_flatten` can now be recursive based on new optional argument
+ (GH-41183, GH-41055)
+- The `take` and `filter` functions have been made significantly faster on
fixed-width
+ types, including fixed-size lists of fixed-width types (GH-39798).
+
+### Dataset
+
+- Repeated scanning of an encrypted Parquet dataset now works correctly
(GH-41431).
+
+### Filesystems
+
+- Standard filesystem implementations are now tracked in a global registry
which
+ also allows loading third-party filesystem implementations, for example from
+ runtime-loaded DLLs (GH-40342,
+- Directory metadata operations on Azure filesystems are now more aligned with
+ the common expectations for filesystems (GH-41034).
+- `CopyFile` is now supported for Azure filesystems with hierarchical namespace
+ enabled (GH-41095).
+- Azure credentials can now be loaded explicitly from the environment
(GH-39345),
+ or using the Azure CLI (GH-39344).
+- A potential deadlock was fixed when closing an S3 output stream (GH-41862).
+
+### GPU
+
+- Non-CPU data can now be pretty-printed (GH-41664).
+- Non-CPU data with offsets, such as list and binary data, can now be properly
+ sent over IPC (GH-42198).
+
+### IPC
+
+- Flatbuffers serialization is now more deterministic (GH-40361).
+
+### Parquet
+
+- A crash was fixed when reading an invalid Parquet file where columns claim to
+ be of different lengths (GH-41317).
+- Definition and repetition levels are now more strictly checked, avoiding
later
+ crashes when reading an invalid Parquet file (GH-41321).
+- A crash was fixed when reading an invalid encrypted Parquet file (GH-43070).
+- Fixed a bug where `DeltaLengthByteArrayEncoder::EstimatedDataEncodedSize`
could
+ return an invalid estimate in some situations (GH-41545).
+- Delimiting records is now faster for columns with nested repeating
(GH-41361).
+
+### Substrait
+
+- Support for more Arrow data types was added: some temporal types, half
floats,
+ large string and large binary (GH-40695).
+
+## C# notes
+
+- The performance of building Decimal arrays using SqlDecimal values was
improved for .NET 7+ (GH-41349)
+- Scalar arrays now implement `ICollection<T?>` (GH-38692)
+- Concatenating arrays with a non-zero offset with ArrowArrayConcatenator was
fixed (GH-41164)
+- Concatenating union arrays with ArrowArrayConcatenator was fixed (GH-41198)
+- Accessing values of decimal arrays with a non-zero offset was fixed
(GH-41199)
+
+## Go Notes
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+#### Arrow
+

([GH=41534](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/41534))
+- Ensure statement handle is updated so stateless prepared statements work
properly ([GH-41427](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/41427))
+
+#### Parquet
+
+- Fix memory leak in BufferedPageWriter
([GH-41697](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/41697))
+- Fix performance regression in PooledBufferWriter
([GH-41541](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/41541))
+
+### Enhancements
+
+#### Arrow

([GH-41160](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/41160))
+
+## Java notes
+
+**Some changes are coming up in the next version, Arrow 18. Java 8 support
will be removed. The version of the flight-core artifact with shaded gRPC will
no longer be distributed.**
+
+- Basic support for ListView (GH-41287) and StringView (GH-40339) has been
added. These types should still be considered experimental.
+
