Updated ADBC Driver for Arrow Flight SQL¶
Version 1.12.1 of the ADBC driver for Apache Arrow Flight SQL is now in the ADBC driver registry and installable immediately via dbc . To install or update, just run:
$ dbc install flightsql
Version 1.12.1 bumps the Go toolchain to address security vulnerabilities in the driver’s dependencies. There are no other changes from version 1.12.0.
This release is a bit different from the driver updates we usually announce here. The Flight SQL driver is developed upstream in the Apache Arrow ADBC repository rather than in the ADBC Driver Foundry, and the versions of it in the registry up through 1.12.0 were built from official Apache Software Foundation releases. Updates to it are normally announced on the Apache Arrow blog , not here. However, cutting a full upstream release just for a dependency patch would have meant a release candidate and vote covering every ADBC library and driver, including those with no changes. So to reduce the burden on the core ADBC maintainers and to get this patch release out with no delay, we implemented the fix on a branch based on version 1.12.0 and built version 1.12.1 for the registry. Version 1.12.1 is not an official Apache Software Foundation release, and it is available only through the ADBC driver registry.[1] The same fix is also in the upstream main branch, and the next official ADBC libraries release will include it.
