+
+The Apache Arrow team is pleased to announce the 24.0.0 release. This release
+covers over 3 months of development work and includes [**259 resolved
+issues**][1] on [**325 distinct commits**][2] from [**57 distinct
+contributors**][2]. See the [Install Page](https://arrow.apache.org/install/)
to
+learn how to get the libraries for your platform.
+
+The release notes below are not exhaustive and only expose selected highlights
+of the release. Many other bugfixes and improvements have been made: we refer
+you to the [complete changelog][3].
+
+## Community
+
+We recently published our [Community Highlights for
2025](https://arrow.apache.org/blog/2026/03/19/arrow-2025-highlights/), check
those out.
+
+Thanks everyone for your contributions and participation in the project!
+
+## Format Notes
+
+We have written a project-wide [Security
Model](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/format/Security.html)
+outlining what users should expect when dealing with Arrow data, especially
coming
+from untrusted sources
[GH-48868](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/48868).
+
+## Arrow Flight RPC Notes
+
+The ODBC driver is still a work-in-progress. The driver now builds on Linux,
but currently no builds are distributed (for any platform)
([GH-49463](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49463)).
+
+In C++, we have refactored serialization/deserialization to make low-level
functionality accessible for advanced usage
([GH-49548](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49548)).
+
+## C++ Notes
+
+In addition to the aforementioned project-wide Security Model, we have written
+a specific [Security Model for Arrow
C++](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/cpp/security.html)
+covering more concrete topics such as API usage and parameter validity
[GH-49274](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49274).
+
+### Compute
+
+### Extension Types
+
+The canonical type
[VariableShapeTensor](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/CanonicalExtensions.html#variable-shape-tensor)
+was finally implemented
[GH-38007](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/38007).
+
+### Parquet
+
+**Breaking change:** The Arrow extension type name for Parquet Variant columns
+used to be `parquet.variant` but has been changed to `arrow.parquet.variant`
[GH-49081](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49081).
+
+While Parquet C++ could only read unencrypted bloom filters, it now supports
+reading encrypted bloom filters as well
[GH-48334](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/48334). In addition, it can
also
+write bloom filters, though only unencrypted
[GH-34785](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/34785).
+
+An ambitious rewrite of the bit-unpacking utilities and optimizations has led
to
+significant performance improvements on reading some Parquet columns, up to 50%
+faster in some cases [GH-48277](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/48277).
This rewrite is described in more detail
+in an [accompanying blog
post](https://medium.com/@AntoineProuvost/faster-reads-for-apache-parquet-improving-integer-unpacking-f6e21ce49a85).
+
+The performance of reading DELTA_BINARY_PACKED-encoded integers has been
improved
+in some favorable cases
[GH-49266](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49266).
+
+### Miscellaneous C++ changes
+
+We have migrated to C++20 `std::span`, removing our home-grown implementation
+in `arrow::util::span`
[GH-48588](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/48588).
+
+A bunch of previously deprecated APIs have been removed
[GH-49356](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49356).
+
+## Linux Packaging Notes
+
+Added support for Ubuntu 26.04, the next LTS
[GH-49341](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49341)
+
+## MATLAB Notes
+
+No major notes for this release on MATLAB.
+
+
+## Python Notes
+
+## Compatibility notes
+
+* `pyarrow.gandiva` is deprecated and will be removed in a future version
[GH-49227](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49227)
+
+## New features
+
+* Type annotations work is starting to be included
([GH-49102](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49102) and
+ [GH-49452](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49452))
+* Basic arithmetic on arrays and scalars is now supported
[GH-32007](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/32007)
+* Options to control writing of Parquet Bloom filters are added to
`parquet.write_table` [GH-49376](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49376)
+* OpenTelemetry is enabled in PyArrow wheels
[GH-49382](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49382)
+* AzureFileSystem is now included in the Windows wheels
[GH-44655](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/44655)
+
+## Other improvements
+
+* Scikit-build-core is now used as the PyArrow build system
[GH-36411](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/36411)
+* `UUID` objects are now inferred automatically in `pa.scalar()` and
`pa.array()` without the need to
+ specify the type explicitly
[GH-48241](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/48241)
+* Constructing an extension array via `pa.array()` from a list of
extension-type scalars is now supported
+ [GH-48470](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/48470)
+* There have been some improvements in the documentation
([GH-49278](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49278),
+ [GH-49269](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49269) and
[GH-28859](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/28859))
+* CSV and JSON options have improved repr/str methods
[GH-47389](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/47389)
+
+## Relevant bug fixes
+
+* `SparseCOOTensor.__repr__` missing f-string prefix is now fixed
[GH-49108](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49108)
+* Pickling `SubTreeFileSystem(base_path, AzureFileSystem(...))` is fixed
[GH-49078](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49078)
+* Casting from `StringArray` to pandas 3.* when element is `None` is fixed
[GH-49002](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49002)
+* Dictionary key order is now preserved when inferring struct type
[GH-40053](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/40053)
+* Duplicate csv header when table batches start with empty is now fixed
[GH-36889](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/36889)
+
+## R Notes
+
+### New Features
+
+* A number of new `dplyr` bindings
[GH-49533](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49533),
[GH-49256](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49256),
[GH-49535](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49535) and
[GH-49534](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49534)
+
+
+### Compatibility notes
+
+* Arrow no longer builds with GCS enabled on CRAN to avoid failures in their
build systems. If you would like a full-featured build of Arrow, we recommend
installing from R-universe; see [the Using cloud storage article in the
docs](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/articles/fs.html) for more information.
[GH-49067](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49067)
+
+
+### Relevant bug fixes
+
+* `to_arrow()` now retains grouping
[GH-40640](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/40640)
+
+## Ruby and C GLib Notes
+
+* Fixed GC related problems.
+* `GArrowListArray`: Added support for returning offset buffer.
+* `GArrowLargeListArray`: Added support for returning offset buffer.
+* `GArrowUnionArray`: Added support for returning fields.
+* Deprecated Feather features.
+
+### Ruby
+
+We've added pure Ruby Apache Arrow writer implementation to the
+`red-arrow-format` gem.
+
+We've marked pure Ruby Apache Arrow reader implementation in the
+`red-arrow-format`gem as stable because it passes integration tests
+with other implementations. But it still has some missing features.
+
+The `red-arrow` gem:
+* Add support for converting to raw Ruby objects of the following arrays:
+ * `Arrow::LargeBinaryArray`
+ * `Arrow::LargeUTF8Array`
+ * `Arrow::LargeListArray`
+ * `Arrow::FixedSizeListArray`
+ * `Arrow::DurationArray`
+ * `Arrow::DictionaryArray` with `Arrow::LargeBinaryArray` or
+ `Arrow::LargeUTF8Array`
+
+### C GLib
+
+No C GLib only notes.
+
