We currently have the following PR's still in the 1.7.0 Milestone. I want to remove any that aren't ready to go by the end of the day so if you have strong feelings about some of these please coordinate with committers to review and get this code in.
*Please do not tag any additional PR's as 1.7.0 unless they are a clear bug and regression*. I expect the PR's below to either get reviewed or I can just move them out to the next release. https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+milestone%3A%22Iceberg+1.7.0%22 AWS: Refresh vended credentials <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/11389> AWS <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+milestone%3A%22Iceberg+1.7.0%22+label%3AAWS> 22 <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/11389> Flink 1.20: Update Flink to use planned Avro reads <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/11386> flink <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+milestone%3A%22Iceberg+1.7.0%22+label%3Aflink> 10 <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/11386> GCS: Refresh vended credentials <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/11282> build <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+milestone%3A%22Iceberg+1.7.0%22+label%3Abuild> core <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+milestone%3A%22Iceberg+1.7.0%22+label%3Acore> GCP <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+milestone%3A%22Iceberg+1.7.0%22+label%3AGCP> 5 <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/11282> Data: Add partition stats writer and reader <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/11216> core <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+milestone%3A%22Iceberg+1.7.0%22+label%3Acore> data <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+milestone%3A%22Iceberg+1.7.0%22+label%3Adata> 22 <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/11216> Spark 3.5: Fix NotSerializableException when migrating Spark tables <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/11157> API <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+milestone%3A%22Iceberg+1.7.0%22+label%3AAPI> data <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+milestone%3A%22Iceberg+1.7.0%22+label%3Adata> spar <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+milestone%3A%22Iceberg+1.7.0%22+label%3Aspark> 1 <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/11157/linked_closing_reference?reference_location=REPO_ISSUES_INDEX> 17 <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/11157>
