Hey y'all! Thanks to @suilis we have learned that IcebergBuild.version() is returning unspecified for Iceberg 1.9.0. <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/12926> I have a PR <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/12949> up to fix this and I think this is a clear reason to do a 1.9.1 as soon as possible. I know we have a few other issues that may need to be fixed as well so let's make sure we get all those listed and I can do a release when they are ready.
Please respond if you have any concerns or you have any issues that need to go into a 1.9.1 <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/milestone/57>, Russ
