Hi everyone, I'd like to start this thread to discuss the next iceberg-rust release (0.5.0) and the next pyiceberg-core release (0.2.0).
The last iceberg-rust release <https://github.com/apache/iceberg-rust/releases/tag/v0.4.0>, 0.4.0, was in December 2024. The community has been hard at work and there are 180 new commits <https://github.com/apache/iceberg-rust/compare/v0.4.0...main> since the last release. Furthermore, pyiceberg would like to use the rust bindings (pyiceberg-core) for all arrow-based partition transforms. Fokko has an open PR (#1833 <https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/pull/1833>) to test the integration using the pyiceberg-core nightly build. The PR is currently blocked until the next pyiceberg-core release. Let me know what you think! Best, Kevin Liu
