+[TOC]
+
+We are proud to announce the release of [DataFusion 55.0.0]. This post
+highlights some of the many improvements since [DataFusion 54.0.0], such as
+significant performance increases, range partitioning, `MERGE INTO` support,
and
+runtime row-group pruning. The complete list of changes is available in the
+[changelog]. This release represents roughly 10 weeks of development and 877
+commits. Thanks to the [175 contributors] (a new record!) for making it
+possible.

+## Performance Improvements 🚀
+
+In this release, we focused our optimizations on making DataFusion faster
across
+the board rather than further optimizing our already great ClickBench numbers
