notes](https://github.com/apache/beam/milestone/43).
+
+## Highlights
+
+### I/Os
+
+* Upgraded Iceberg dependency to 1.11.0 (Java) 
([#38925](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38925)).
+* Add ArrowFlight IO (Java) 
([#20116](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/20116)).
+* (Python) JmsIO (IBM MQ, ActiveMQ, and other providers) is now supported in 
Python via cross-language 
([#30716](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/30716)).
+* Added a full Iceberg batch and streaming changelog source (CDC) 
([#38831](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38831))
+* Added a Delta Lake batch changelog source (CDC) 
([#39492](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39492))
+
+### New Features / Improvements
+
+* Added `GroupIntoBatches` transform and the standard
+  `beam:coder:sharded_key:v1` coder to the Go SDK, along with
+  `beam.Coder.IsDeterministic`, `beam.PCollection.WindowingStrategy`,
+  and `coder.RegisterDeterministicCoder` for opt-in deterministic
+  custom coders (Go) ([#19868](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/19868)).
+* TriggerStateMachineRunner changes from BitSetCoder to SentinelBitSetCoder to
+  encode finished bitset. SentinelBitSetCoder and BitSetCoder are state
+  compatible. Both coders can decode encoded bytes from the other coder
+  ([#38139](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38139)).
+* (Python) Removed the `envoy-data-plane` (and transitive `betterproto`) 
dependency; `EnvoyRateLimiter` now uses a small vendored protobuf definition 
instead, resolving dependency conflicts for downstream projects 
([#37854](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/37854)).
+* (Java) Supported acknowledge mode for JmsIO 
([#39253](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39253)).
+* (Python) Staged files directory is now automatically added to `sys.path` on 
the Python SDK worker at startup. This makes Python files provided via the 
'--files_to_stage' pipeline option importable in the pipeline code and makes it 
easier to initialize Python SDK harness at startup via the `--beam_plugins` 
pipeline option. For more information, see the [Staging Individual 
Files](https://beam.apache.org/documentation/sdks/python-pipeline-dependencies/#staging-files)
 section of the depend [...]
+* (Python) Added `equal_to_approx`, an `assert_that` matcher that compares 
numeric pipeline outputs with a configurable tolerance 
([#18028](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/18028)).
+* (Python) `Timestamp` now supports variable subsecond precision, up to 
nanoseconds. The portable
+  `beam:logical_type:timestamp:v1` logical type now maps to Python's 
`Timestamp` ([#39344](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39344)).
+* (Python) Added `UnboundedSource`, an interface for reading an infinite 
stream of records with checkpointing, watermark reporting, and bundle 
finalization. Read one with `beam.io.Read`
+  ([#19137](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/19137)).
+* (Python) Added `Watch`, a transform that polls a growing set of outputs for 
each input element, deduplicates outputs across poll rounds, and stops per a 
user-supplied termination condition
+  ([#21521](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/21521)).
+* (Python) Added support to analyze core dumps created after python worker 
segmentation faults with `pystack` (or `gdb` if installed) using the 
`--profiler_agent=coredump` pipeline option. 
([#39484](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39484)).
+* (Python) Added `Sample.Any`, the Python equivalent of Java's `Sample.any`, 
which returns up to n arbitrary elements from a PCollection 
([#18552](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/18552)).
+* (Java) Added per-element OpenTelemetry trace propagation across stages in 
the Dataflow Streaming Runner. Enable it with 
`--experiments=enable_otel_defaults,element_metadata_supported,disable_portable_worker`.
 Cloud Trace incurs additional cost. 
([#33176](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/33176))
+* (Java) Added OpenTelemetry header propagation support for both reads and 
writes in KafkaIO and PubSubIO. 
([#33176](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/33176))
+* (Java) Added OpenTelemetry tracing support for SpannerIO change streams 
([#33176](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/33176))
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+* (Python) Removed `google-perftools` from the SDK container images. Users who 
wish to use `--profiler_agent=tcmalloc` should install google-perftools APT 
package in their custom container images separately 
([#39323](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39323)).
+* [IcebergIO] Reading a `timestamptz` column will now return a 
`Timestamp.MICROS` Beam logical type to preserve
+  microseconds (the old Beam `Schema.FieldType#DATETIME` primitive type 
truncates past milliseconds). This may break
+  the following use cases when a `timestamptz` column is present:
+  * Existing streaming read pipelines.
+  * Managed Iceberg batch reads when upgraded from an older SDK.
+  * Python reads.
+
+  Use pipeline option `--updateCompatibilityVersion=2.75.0` (or any older 
version) to keep the old behavior 
([#39344](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39344)).
+* `DoFn.process` returning a `str`, `bytes`, or `dict` (instead of an iterable 
wrapping one) now raises a `TypeError` rather than silently iterating 
per-character/byte/key (Python) 
([#18712](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/18712)).
+* (Java) Added `DRAINING` and `DRAINED` states to `PipelineResult`, including 
runner state mappings and Dataflow update handling 
([#39020](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39020)).
+* (Python) Typehints of dataclass fields are honored during type inferences. 
To restore the behavior of fallback-to-any,
+  use pipeline option `--exclude_infer_dataclass_field_type` 
([#38797](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38797)).
+  However fixing forward is recommended.
+* (Java) IcebergIO and projects that use it must now be built with Java 17 or 
later as a result of Iceberg 1.11.0 upgrade 
([#38925](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38925)).
+
+### Bugfixes
+
+* Fixed unresolved runtime `ValueProvider` options being stringified in Python 
Dataflow Flex Templates ([#39499](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39499)).
+* Fixed unbounded checkpoint state growth for splittable DoFns that 
self-checkpoint on the portable Flink runner (Java) 
([#27648](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/27648)).
+* Improved Java pipeline performance by avoiding repeated `DoFn` type 
descriptor resolution when creating cached invokers 
([#39309](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39309)).
+* (Python) Fixed a memory leak in Python SDK caused by storing exceptions with 
potentially large stack frames in a cache 
([#39406](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39406)).
+
+### Known Issues
+
+* (Java) Projects using the Flink runner with Flink 2.1 or later alongside 
libraries requiring `org.lz4:lz4-java` (e.g., Kafka clients) may encounter a 
Gradle capability conflict, because Flink 2.1+ ships `at.yawk.lz4:lz4-java` 
which declares the same capability. To resolve, add a `capabilitiesResolution` 
rule to your `build.gradle` that selects `at.yawk.lz4:lz4-java` 
([#38947](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38947)).
