+Apache Polaris 1.3.0-incubating was released on January 16th, 2026.
+- **Highlights**
+ - Support for [Iceberg Metrics Reporting] has been introduced in Polaris.
Out of the box, metrics can be printed to the logs by setting the
`org.apache.polaris.service.reporting` logger level to `INFO` (it's set to
`OFF` by default). Custom reporters can be implemented and configured to send
metrics to external systems for further analysis and monitoring.
+ - Support for [Open Policy Agent (OPA)] integration has been added to
Polaris. This enables delegating authorization decisions to external policy
decision points, allowing organizations to centralize policy management and
implement complex authorization rules. OPA integration can be enabled by
setting `polaris.authorization.type=opa` in the Polaris configuration.
+
+- **Upgrade Notes**
+ - The legacy management endpoints at `/metrics` and `/healthcheck` have been
removed. Please use the standard management endpoints at `/q/metrics` and
`/q/health` instead.
+
+- **Breaking changes**
+ - The EclipseLink Persistence implementation has been completely removed.
+ - The default request ID header name has changed from `Polaris-Request-Id`
to `X-Request-ID`.
+
+- **New Features**
+ - Added `--no-sts` flag to CLI to support S3-compatible storage systems that
do not have Security Token Service available.
+ - Support credential vending for federated catalogs.
`ALLOW_FEDERATED_CATALOGS_CREDENTIAL_VENDING` (default: true) was added to
toggle this feature.
+ - Enhanced catalog federation with SigV4 authentication support, additional
authentication types for credential vending, and location-based access
restrictions to block credential vending for remote tables outside allowed
location lists.
+
+- **Changes**
+ - `client.region` is no longer considered a "credential" property (related
to Iceberg REST Catalog API).
+ - Relaxed the requirements for S3 storage's ARN to allow Polaris to connect
to more non-AWS S3 storage appliances.
+ - Added checksum to helm deployment so that it will restart when the
configmap has changed.
+ - Generic Table is no longer in beta and is generally-available.
+ - Added Windows support for Python client
