We should probably try to get #7238 and by extension the update to object_store 0.12.0 (once released) into this release.

[xmakro]

upgrading pyo3 dependency to 24.0 would be good to include

Thanks @xmakro there is a PR to do so. We'll get it in

• build(deps): update pyo3 requirement from 0.23 to 0.24 #7259

I hope to make this release next week sometime as it has a substantial number of accumulated upgrades and features

[kylebarron]

I would love to consider #7334 for the 55 release, if we can find consensus.

I guess it's too late to include the following PRs?

• feat: impl display for DataType::List #7051
• Implement Type and Array for Decimal32 and Decimal64 #7098

• feat: impl display for DataType::List #7051
• Implement Type and Array for Decimal32 and Decimal64 #7098

We can create another RC, but I would recommend against it.

Neither of those PRs is ready (reviewed / approved ready for merge)

Maybe we could get them ready if we wanted to try in the next major release
