Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) 26.1.0 Released oracle-base.com/blog/2026/04… @OracleREST

We are happy to release DuckLake v1.0, a production-ready lakehouse format specification. Its reference implementation, the ducklake DuckDB extension, is available as of today in DuckDB v1.5.2. Since releasing the DuckLake manifesto in May 2025, we have seen massive adoption, with DuckLake deployed in production at multiple organizations, third-party clients supporting DuckLake, and even an upcoming O'Reilly book. DuckLake v1.0 ships many new features (inlining, partitioning, bucketing, type system improvements) and guarantees backwards-compatibility in the specification.

📈 Today, we are releasing DuckDB version 1.5.1, a patch release with bug fixes, performance improvements and support for the Lance lakehouse format. ➡️ duckdb.org/2026/03/23/announ…
