### DataFusion core

https://github.com/apache/datafusion

- 49.0.2 was released on 2025-08-25.

- 49.0.1 was released on 2025-08-18.

The DataFusion core project continues to mature, and we typically merge
multiple commits a day from a large variety of contributors. We are also
discussing [formalizing the process] for communicating and planning larger
new features. The community focus continues to be performance, and
extensibility, with relatively limited new feature work in the core

We have also improved the upgrade experience with [upgrade guides] and
release blogs such as for [48.0.0] and [49.0.0]

[upgrade guides]:

Ifeanyi Ubah (iffyio) continues to do a great job reviewing PRs to keep the

code consistent and flowing and we are keeping up the pace with bi-monthly

releases.


## Community Health:

While we as always struggle with code review capacity,

we have many active committers, and the community in general helps each

other out with reviews. We continue to actively grow our committer

and PMC ranks.

We continue to merge multiple PRs a day from multiple committers and

have contributions from a wide variety of individuals with a wide

variety of employers.
