+<p>The Apache DataFusion PMC is pleased to announce version 0.12.0 of the <a 
href="https://datafusion.apache.org/comet/";>Comet</a> subproject.</p>
+<p>Comet is an accelerator for Apache Spark that translates Spark physical 
plans to DataFusion physical plans for
+improved performance and efficiency without requiring any code changes.</p>
+<p>This release covers approximately four weeks of development work and is the 
result of merging 105 PRs from 13
+contributors. See the <a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/blob/main/dev/changelog/0.12.0.md";>change
 log</a> for more information.</p>

Apache Iceberg Scan Support<a class="headerlink" 
href="#experimental-native-apache-iceberg-scan-support" title="Permanent 
link">¶</a></h3>
+<p>Comet has a new, experimental, <a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2528";>native Iceberg 
scan</a>. This work relies on <a 
href="https://github.com/apache/iceberg-rust";>iceberg-rust</a> and the Parquet 
reader from <a href="https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs";>arrow-rs</a> that 
Comet already uses to great effect. Comet’s <a 
href="https://datafusion.apache.org/comet/user-guide/0.12/iceberg.html";>existing
 Iceberg integration</a> relies on a modified Iceberg Java build t [...]
+<p>This represents a significant step forward in Comet's support for data 
lakehouse architectures and expands the range of workloads that can benefit 
from native acceleration. Please take a look at the PR and Comet’s 
documentation to understand the current limitations and try it on your 
workloads! We are eager for feedback on this approach.</p>
+<h3 id="code-architecture-improvements">Code Architecture Improvements<a 
class="headerlink" href="#code-architecture-improvements" title="Permanent 
link">¶</a></h3>
+<p>This release includes significant refactoring to improve code 
maintainability and extensibility, and we will continue those efforts into 
0.13.0 development:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><strong>Unified operator serialization</strong>: The <a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2768";>CometExecRule 
refactor</a> unifies CometNativeExec creation with serialization through the 
new <code>CometOperatorSerde</code> trait</li>
+<li><strong>Expression serde refactoring</strong>: Multiple PRs (<a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2738";>#2738</a>, <a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2741";>#2741</a>, <a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2791";>#2791</a>) moved 
expression serialization logic out of <code>QueryPlanSerde</code> into 
specialized traits</li>
+<li><strong>Aggregate expression improvements</strong>: <a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2777";>Added 
getSupportLevel to CometAggregateExpressionSerde trait</a> for better aggregate 
function handling</li>
+</ul>
+<p>These architectural improvements make it easier for contributors to add new 
operators and expressions while reducing code complexity.</p>
+<h3 id="new-sql-functions">New SQL Functions<a class="headerlink"

+&lt;p&gt;The Apache DataFusion PMC is pleased to announce version 0.12.0 of 
the &lt;a href="https://datafusion.apache.org/comet/"&gt;Comet&lt;/a&gt; 
subproject.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Comet is an accelerator for Apache Spark that translates Spark 
physical plans to DataFusion physical plans for
+improved performance and efficiency without requiring any code 
changes.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;This release covers approximately four weeks of development work and 
is the result of merging 105 PRs from 13
+contributors. See the &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/blob/main/dev/changelog/0.12.0.md"&gt;change
 log&lt;/a&gt; for more information.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;h2 id="release-highlights"&gt;Release Highlights&lt;a class="headerlink" 
href="#release-highlights" title="Permanent link"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
+&lt;h3 id="experimental-native-apache-iceberg-scan-support"&gt;Experimental 
Native Apache Iceberg Scan Support&lt;a class="headerlink" 
href="#experimental-native-apache-iceberg-scan-support" title="Permanent 
link"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Comet has a new, experimental, &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2528"&gt;native Iceberg 
scan&lt;/a&gt;. This work relies on &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/iceberg-rust"&gt;iceberg-rust&lt;/a&gt; and the 
Parquet reader from &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs"&gt;arrow-rs&lt;/a&gt; that Comet 
already uses to great effect. Comet’s &lt;a 
href="https://datafusion.apache.org/comet/user-guide/0.12/iceberg.html"&gt;existing
 Iceberg integrati [...]
+&lt;p&gt;This represents a significant step forward in Comet's support for 
data lakehouse architectures and expands the range of workloads that can 
benefit from native acceleration. Please take a look at the PR and Comet’s 
documentation to understand the current limitations and try it on your 
workloads! We are eager for feedback on this approach.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;h3 id="code-architecture-improvements"&gt;Code Architecture 
Improvements&lt;a class="headerlink" href="#code-architecture-improvements" 
title="Permanent link"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;This release includes significant refactoring to improve code 
maintainability and extensibility, and we will continue those efforts into 
0.13.0 development:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unified operator serialization&lt;/strong&gt;: The 
&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2768"&gt;CometExecRule 
refactor&lt;/a&gt; unifies CometNativeExec creation with serialization through 
the new &lt;code&gt;CometOperatorSerde&lt;/code&gt; trait&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Expression serde refactoring&lt;/strong&gt;: Multiple 
PRs (&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2738"&gt;#2738&lt;/a&gt;, 
&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2741"&gt;#2741&lt;/a&gt;, 
&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2791"&gt;#2791&lt;/a&gt;) 
moved expression serialization logic out of 
&lt;code&gt;QueryPlanSerde&lt;/code&gt; into specialized traits&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aggregate expression improvements&lt;/strong&gt;: 
&lt;a href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2777"&gt;Added 
getSupportLevel to CometAggregateExpressionSerde trait&lt;/a&gt; for better 
aggregate function handling&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;These architectural improvements make it easier for contributors to 
add new operators and expressions while reducing code complexity.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;h3 id="new-sql-functions"&gt;New SQL Functions&lt;a class="headerlink" 
href="#new-sql-functions" title="Permanent link"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The following SQL functions are now supported:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2604"&gt;&lt;code&gt;concat&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
 - String concatenation&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2689"&gt;&lt;code&gt;abs&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
 - Absolute value&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2471"&gt;&lt;code&gt;sha1&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
 - SHA-1 hash function&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2755"&gt;&lt;code&gt;cot&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
 - Cotangent function&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2784"&gt;Hyperbolic 
trigonometric functions&lt;/a&gt; - sinh, cosh, tanh, and their inverse 
functions&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;h3 id="new-operators"&gt;New Operators&lt;a class="headerlink" 
href="#new-operators" title="Permanent link"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2735"&gt;&lt;code&gt;CometLocalTableScanExec&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
 - Native support for local table scans, eliminating fallback to Spark for 
small, in-memory datasets&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;h3 id="configuration-and-usability-improvements"&gt;Configuration and 
Usability Improvements&lt;a class="headerlink" 
href="#configuration-and-usability-improvements" title="Permanent 
link"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Simplified on-heap configuration&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2599"&gt;Simplified 
on-heap memory configuration&lt;/a&gt; for easier setup&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Extended explain format&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2644"&gt;Renamed and 
improved COMET_EXTENDED_EXPLAIN_FORMAT&lt;/a&gt; with better defaults&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Environment variable support&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2722"&gt;Improved 
framework for setting configs with environment variables&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Native config passing&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2801"&gt;All Comet 
configs now passed to native plan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Config categorization&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2740"&gt;Categorized 
testing configs&lt;/a&gt; and added notes about known timezone issues&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Removed legacy configs&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2786"&gt;Removed 
COMET_EXPR_ALLOW_INCOMPATIBLE config&lt;/a&gt; to simplify 
configuration&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;h3 id="bug-fixes"&gt;Bug Fixes&lt;a class="headerlink" href="#bug-fixes" 
title="Permanent link"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;This release includes numerous bug fixes:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2606"&gt;Fixed None.get 
in stringDecode&lt;/a&gt; when binary child cannot be converted&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a

+&lt;li&gt;Spark 4.0.1 with JDK 17, Scala 2.13&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;We are looking for help from the community to fully support Spark 
4.0.1. See &lt;a

4.0.0&lt;/a&gt; for more information.&lt;/p&gt;

href="#getting-involved" title="Permanent link"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The Comet project welcomes new contributors. We use the same &lt;a 
href="https://datafusion.apache.org/contributor-guide/communication.html#slack-and-discord"&gt;Slack
 and Discord&lt;/a&gt; channels as the main DataFusion
+project and have a weekly &lt;a

 video call&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The easiest way to get involved is to test Comet with your current 
Spark jobs and file issues for any bugs or
+performance regressions that you find. See the &lt;a 
href="https://datafusion.apache.org/comet/user-guide/installation.html"&gt;Getting
 Started&lt;/a&gt; guide for instructions on downloading and installing
+Comet.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;There are also many &lt;a

+&lt;p&gt;This release covers approximately four weeks of development work and

Native Apache Iceberg Scan Support&lt;a class="headerlink" 
href="#experimental-native-apache-iceberg-scan-support" title="Permanent 
link"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Comet has a new, experimental, &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2528"&gt;native Iceberg 
scan&lt;/a&gt;. This work relies on &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/iceberg-rust"&gt;iceberg-rust&lt;/a&gt; and the 
Parquet reader from &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs"&gt;arrow-rs&lt;/a&gt; that Comet 
already uses to great effect. Comet’s &lt;a

+&lt;p&gt;This represents a significant step forward in Comet's support for 
data lakehouse architectures and expands the range of workloads that can 
benefit from native acceleration. Please take a look at the PR and Comet’s 
documentation to understand the current limitations and try it on your

Improvements&lt;a class="headerlink" href="#code-architecture-improvements" 
title="Permanent link"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;This release includes significant refactoring to improve code 
maintainability and extensibility, and we will continue those efforts into 
0.13.0 development:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unified operator serialization&lt;/strong&gt;: The 
&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2768"&gt;CometExecRule 
refactor&lt;/a&gt; unifies CometNativeExec creation with serialization through 
the new &lt;code&gt;CometOperatorSerde&lt;/code&gt; trait&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Expression serde refactoring&lt;/strong&gt;: Multiple 
PRs (&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2738"&gt;#2738&lt;/a&gt;, 
&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2741"&gt;#2741&lt;/a&gt;, 
&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2791"&gt;#2791&lt;/a&gt;) 
moved expression serialization logic out of 
&lt;code&gt;QueryPlanSerde&lt;/code&gt; into specialized traits&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aggregate expression improvements&lt;/strong&gt;: 
&lt;a href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2777"&gt;Added 
getSupportLevel to CometAggregateExpressionSerde trait&lt;/a&gt; for better 
aggregate function handling&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;These architectural improvements make it easier for contributors to 
add new operators and expressions while reducing code complexity.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;h3 id="new-sql-functions"&gt;New SQL Functions&lt;a class="headerlink" 
href="#new-sql-functions" title="Permanent link"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The following SQL functions are now supported:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2604"&gt;&lt;code&gt;concat&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
 - String concatenation&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2689"&gt;&lt;code&gt;abs&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
 - Absolute value&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2471"&gt;&lt;code&gt;sha1&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
 - SHA-1 hash function&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2755"&gt;&lt;code&gt;cot&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
 - Cotangent function&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2784"&gt;Hyperbolic 
trigonometric functions&lt;/a&gt; - sinh, cosh, tanh, and their inverse 
functions&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;h3 id="new-operators"&gt;New Operators&lt;a class="headerlink" 
href="#new-operators" title="Permanent link"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2735"&gt;&lt;code&gt;CometLocalTableScanExec&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
 - Native support for local table scans, eliminating fallback to Spark for 
small, in-memory datasets&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;h3 id="configuration-and-usability-improvements"&gt;Configuration and 
Usability Improvements&lt;a class="headerlink" 
href="#configuration-and-usability-improvements" title="Permanent 
link"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Simplified on-heap configuration&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2599"&gt;Simplified 
on-heap memory configuration&lt;/a&gt; for easier setup&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Extended explain format&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2644"&gt;Renamed and 
improved COMET_EXTENDED_EXPLAIN_FORMAT&lt;/a&gt; with better defaults&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Environment variable support&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2722"&gt;Improved 
framework for setting configs with environment variables&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Native config passing&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2801"&gt;All Comet 
configs now passed to native plan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Config categorization&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2740"&gt;Categorized 
testing configs&lt;/a&gt; and added notes about known timezone issues&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Removed legacy configs&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2786"&gt;Removed 
COMET_EXPR_ALLOW_INCOMPATIBLE config&lt;/a&gt; to simplify 
configuration&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;h3 id="bug-fixes"&gt;Bug Fixes&lt;a class="headerlink" href="#bug-fixes" 
title="Permanent link"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;This release includes numerous bug fixes:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2606"&gt;Fixed None.get 
in stringDecode&lt;/a&gt; when binary child cannot be converted&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2630"&gt;Proper fallback 
for lpad/rpad with unsupported arguments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

+&lt;li&gt;Spark 4.0.1 with JDK 17, Scala 2.13&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;We are looking for help from the community to fully support Spark 
4.0.1. See &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/issues/1637"&gt;EPIC: Support 
4.0.0&lt;/a&gt; for more information.&lt;/p&gt;

href="#getting-involved" title="Permanent link"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The Comet project welcomes new contributors. We use the same &lt;a 
href="https://datafusion.apache.org/contributor-guide/communication.html#slack-and-discord"&gt;Slack
 and Discord&lt;/a&gt; channels as the main DataFusion
+project and have a weekly &lt;a 
href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NBpkIAuU7O9h8Br5CbFksDhX-L9TyO9wmGLPMe0Plc8/edit?usp=sharing"&gt;DataFusion
 video call&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The easiest way to get involved is to test Comet with your current 
Spark jobs and file issues for any bugs or
+performance regressions that you find. See the &lt;a 
href="https://datafusion.apache.org/comet/user-guide/installation.html"&gt;Getting
 Started&lt;/a&gt; guide for instructions on downloading and installing
+Comet.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;There are also many &lt;a

&lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2791"&gt;#2791&lt;/a&gt;) 
moved expression serialization logic out of 
&lt;code&gt;QueryPlanSerde&lt;/code&gt; into specialized traits&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aggregate expression improvements&lt;/strong&gt;: 
&lt;a href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/2777"&gt;Added 
getSupportLevel to CometAggregateExpressionSerde trait&lt;/a&gt; for better 
aggregate function handling&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;These architectural improvements make it easier for contributors to 
add new operators and expressions while reducing code complexity.&lt;/p&gt;

+&lt;li&gt;Spark 4.0.1 with JDK 17, Scala 2.13&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;We are looking for help from the community to fully support Spark 
4.0.1. See &lt;a

href="#getting-involved" title="Permanent link"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The Comet project welcomes new contributors. We use the same &lt;a 
href="https://datafusion.apache.org/contributor-guide/communication.html#slack-and-discord"&gt;Slack
 and Discord&lt;/a&gt; channels as the main DataFusion
+project and have a weekly &lt;a 
href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NBpkIAuU7O9h8Br5CbFksDhX-L9TyO9wmGLPMe0Plc8/edit?usp=sharing"&gt;DataFusion
 video call&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The easiest way to get involved is to test Comet with your current 
Spark jobs and file issues for any bugs or
+performance regressions that you find. See the &lt;a 
href="https://datafusion.apache.org/comet/user-guide/installation.html"&gt;Getting
 Started&lt;/a&gt; guide for instructions on downloading and installing
+Comet.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;There are also many &lt;a 
href="https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/contribute"&gt;good first 
issues&lt;/a&gt; waiting for contributions.&lt;/p&gt;</content><category
