I noticed that the release notes URL and content have a different structure across 4.1.0 and 4.2.0.
https://spark.apache.org/releases/spark-release-4-2-0.html URL has dashes and no highlighted changes. https://spark.apache.org/releases/spark-release-4.1.0.html URL has periods and a list of highlighted changed. Is this intentional? > On Jul 14, 2026, at 11:47 PM, huaxin gao <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi All, > > We are happy to announce the availability of Apache Spark 4.2.0! > > Apache Spark 4.2.0 is a new feature release of the 4.x line.
