+date: "2024-11-13 00:00:00"

+
+
+The Apache Arrow team is pleased to announce the version 15 release
+of the Apache Arrow ADBC libraries. This release includes [**31
+resolved issues**][1] from [**13 distinct contributors**][2].
+
+This is a release of the **libraries**, which are at version
+15. The [**API specification**][specification] is versioned
+separately and is at version 1.1.0.
+
+The subcomponents are versioned independently:
+
+- C/C++/GLib/Go/Python/Ruby: 1.3.0
+- C#: 0.15.0
+- Java: 0.15.0
+- R: 0.15.0
+- Rust: 0.15.0
+
+The release notes below are not exhaustive and only expose selected
+highlights of the release. Many other bugfixes and improvements have
+been made: we refer you to the [complete changelog][3].
+
+## Release Highlights
+
+- The BigQuery driver is now properly released to PyPI. See
+ [adbc-driver-bigquery](https://pypi.org/project/adbc-driver-bigquery/).```
+- A basic driver for Apache DataFusion is now being developed.
+- The documentation now includes the Doxygen API reference for C/C++, which should give a better/more native experience than the previous Breathe-based documentation.
+- The Java libraries now use the latest arrow-java libraries, and as such require Java 11 or newer.
+- The PostgreSQL driver has basic support for Redshift, though it cannot use the COPY optimizations for PostgreSQL and as such will not be as fast.
+- The PostgreSQL driver can now handle ingesting Arrow list types.
+- The PostgreSQL driver will use the [Opaque canonical extension type][opaque] for unknown types, instead of just returning bytes with no further context.
+- We no longer build for Python 3.8. We now build for Python 3.13.
+- The Snowflake driver better handles catalog operations when not connected to a particular database.
