Hey folks, Iceberg 1.10 was released 2 weeks ago and there was one issue <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/14071>around incorrect variant filtering reported that I think meets the criteria for a patch release. The fix PR <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/14071> is in (thank you Drew). I wanted to kick this discussion thread off in case folks had other issues in the 1.10 release that they think warrant a patch release.
I also think this PR <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/12868> is a good candidate for a patch release; this is for addressing a long-standing issue where closing the S3FileIO during an event like moving broadcast variables from memory to disk leads to an unexpected closing of the http client. There's still some discussion on the approach of the fix but there's general recognition that it's a legitimate issue, so I think it'd be ideal to get this in for a patch release as well. I've also created a milestone here <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/milestone/61>. Thanks, Amogh Jahagirdar
