## Release Versioning and Schedule | ||
|
||
The Arrow Rust project releases approximately monthly and follows [Semantic | ||
Versioning](https://semver.org/). | ||
|
||
Due to available maintainer and testing bandwidth, `arrow` crates (`arrow`, | ||
`arrow-flight`, etc.) are released on the same schedule with the same versions | ||
as the `parquet` and `parquet-derive` crates. | ||

|
||
Starting June 2024, we plan to release new major versions with potentially | ||
breaking API changes at most once a quarter, and release incremental minor versions in | ||

For example, you can write an SQL query or a `DataFrame` (using the `datafusion` crate), run it against a parquet file (using the `parquet` crate), evaluate it in-memory using Arrow's columnar format (using the `arrow` crate), and send to another process (using the `arrow-flight` crate). | ||

Generally speaking, the `arrow` crate offers functionality for using Arrow arrays, and `datafusion` offers most operations typically found in SQL, including `join`s and window functions. | ||
