+
+The next major release of Apache Cloudberry (Incubating)—version 2.0—is just
around the corner. As the project’s first Apache release since joining the
Apache Incubator, Cloudberry 2.0 brings a host of new features, performance
enhancements, and compliance improvements. While the official release is still
in progress, we’d like to share a preview of the most exciting changes and
innovations you can expect. This overview highlights the key updates and sets
the stage for the upcoming launch.
+
+## Key Highlights of Apache Cloudberry 2.0
+
+### Codebase Cleanup
+
+One of the major efforts in this release was cleaning up the code repository
to remove outdated and unused files. This includes legacy components such as
Concourse CI configurations (`concourse/*`), `hd-ci/*`, legacy deployment
directories (e.g., Vagrant and Kubernetes setups), and redundant artifacts like
PyGreSQL-related files. This cleanup streamlines the codebase, making it easier
for contributors to navigate and focus on meaningful development.
+
+### Brand Refresh
+
+As part of the transition to the Apache Incubator, we’ve unified branding
across the project source code and website. References to legacy names like
"Cloudberry Database" and "CloudberryDB" have been replaced with `Apache
Cloudberry` or simply `Cloudberry`. This ensures consistency and aligns the
project with Apache’s branding guidelines.
+
+### Compliance Improvements
+
+To meet Apache’s licensing and compliance standards, we’ve added the standard
Apache License headers to all relevant newly created files by the Cloudberry
community, replaced incompatible tarballs like Pylint (GPL-licensed) with Ruff
(MIT-licensed), and ensured the codebase passes Apache RAT validation.
+
+We’ve reworded the NOTICE, LICENSE, DISCLAIMER, COPYRIGHT, and SECURITY files
to reflect the new Apache Cloudberry branding and compliance requirements. All
submodules and components’ licenses are listed in the top-level `licenses`
directory.
+
+Our PPMC members and committers have all signed the ICLA (Individual
Contributor License Agreement) files and the Cloudberry donation corporation
also signed the Software Grant Agreement (SGA) files and and has been filed
with the Apache Software Foundation.
+
+These changes make Cloudberry fully compliant with Apache’s open-source
policies, paving the way for a smooth release process.
+
+### Cherry-Picked Enhancements from archived Greenplum
+
+Apache Cloudberry 2.0 incorporates hundreds of commits cherry-picked from the
archived Greenplum repository. These include critical bug fixes, performance
improvements, and enhancements to the ORCA query optimizer and other
components. While some changes outside Cloudberry’s roadmap were deprioritized,
the codebase is now largely aligned with Greenplum, offering a solid foundation
for future development. Community contributors are welcome to pick up tasks
related to these deprioritized c [...]
+
+### New Features and Enhancements
+
+This release introduces new features and enhancements that expand Cloudberry’s
capabilities compared to the previous Cloudberry 1.6 release:
+
+* Dynamic Tables: Automatically refresh query results based on base tables,
external tables, or materialized views—ideal for building live analytical
dashboards. See the
[doc](https://cloudberry.apache.org/docs/next/performance/use-dynamic-tables)
for more details.
+* PAX: Introduces a hybrid row-column storage model that improves cache
efficiency and supports both object and local file systems. See the
[doc](https://cloudberry.apache.org/docs/next/operate-with-data/pax-table-format)
for more details.
+* And More: Cloudberry 2.0 brings extensive enhancements across query
optimization, the ORCA optimizer, transaction management, storage, data
handling, resource managment, and tools. Full details will be available in the
official 2.0 release notes.
+
+### CICD Process
+
+Since entering the Apache Incubator, a strong CI/CD pipeline has been
established. This pipeline covers all the core tests and checks to ensure the
quality of the codebase. At the same time, it can support parallel tests to
speed up the CI/CD process, and output the detailed test result parsing and
reporting, etc.
+
+As an Apache Incubator project, Apache Cloudberry 2.0 follows the Apache
Software Foundation’s release process, including community discussions, voting,
and compliance checks. This ensures the release meets the standards of quality
and transparency.
+
+### Security Enhancements
+
+Security has been a top priority for Apache Cloudberry 2.0. We’ve introduced
Coverity Scan and SonarQube for automated weekly code analysis, ensuring the
codebase is robust and secure.
+
+Additionally, we’ve addressed critical vulnerabilities, including PostgreSQL
CVE-2025-1049 fixes, and upgraded dependencies such as `PyYAML` to patch known
issues. These measures reinforce Cloudberry’s commitment to providing a secure
and reliable database platform.
+
+### Website and Docs updates
+
+The website and documentation have been updated to reflect the new branding
and features. The website now includes a new design, updated content, and
better navigation. The documentation has been updated to reflect the new
features and changes in the codebase.
+
+## Looking Ahead
+
+As an Apache Incubator project, Cloudberry 2.0 follows the ASF’s rigorous
release process, including open discussion, voting, and compliance checks. This
ensures transparency, quality, and community trust.
+
+With a cleaner codebase, enhanced security, and exciting new features and
enhancements, Apache Cloudberry 2.0 will be a major milestone that sets the
stage for future innovation. We invite the community to join us in shaping the
future of Apache Cloudberry by contributing, testing, and sharing feedback.
+
+Stay tuned for the official 2.0 release announcement! Thank you for being part
of the Apache Cloudberry journey!
