+# Apache Auron 8.0.0-incubating
+
+Apache Auron 8.0.0-incubating is a new Apache Incubator release. This release significantly expands Flink integration, native scan support for lakehouse table formats, native expression and function coverage, build and CI compatibility, and runtime reliability.
+
+## New Features
+
+- **Flink integration:** Introduced the Flink Auron adaptor, configuration framework, expression converter framework, native Calc operators, and the structural Flink assembly deployment JAR.
+- **Native Kafka source for Flink:** Added a native Kafka table source and scan execution with checkpointing, watermark generation, idleness handling, partition discovery, JSON format support, and Flink metrics integration.
+- **Lakehouse native scans:** Added and expanded native scan support for Apache Iceberg, Apache Hudi, and Apache Paimon, including Copy-on-Write tables, Iceberg changelog scans, metadata columns, residual filters, scan metrics, and Paimon DataSource V2 scans.
+- **Native expressions and functions:** Added native support for aggregate `FILTER (WHERE ...)` clauses, Cast, comparison, logical, and mathematical operators, along with additional array, map, date, string, and unary expressions.
+- **Window functions and joins:** Added native implementations of `lead`, `nth_value`, `percent_rank`, and `cume_dist`, plus residual join-condition support for SortMergeJoin and ShuffledHashJoin.
+- **Native serialization:** Introduced native JSON and Protocol Buffers deserializers and expanded Arrow-to-Flink conversion support for basic, temporal, and composite types.
+
+## Improvements
+
+- **Correctness testing:** Expanded test scaffolding and suite wrappers across supported Spark versions for expressions, functions, aggregates, sorting, and Parquet behavior.
+- **Spark compatibility:** Added Spark 4.0 and 4.1 support to build and development workflows and fixed Scala 2.13 CI compatibility.
+- **Build and packaging:** Added macOS build support, Maven thread controls, improved command-line option parsing, standardized Cargo workspace settings, and refined release artifact naming.
+- **Flink behavior:** Improved configuration naming, metrics reporting, watermark handling, partition discovery, adaptor lifecycle management, and deployment packaging.
+- **Native scan observability:** Added conversion-reason reporting and exposed file and partition metrics for supported table-format scans.
+- **Dependency maintenance:** Updated Maven, Hadoop, Celeborn, Kafka, Tokio, Prost, Chrono, Log, and other build/runtime dependencies.
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+- Fixed Kafka source cases that emitted no records or failed to generate watermarks.
+- Fixed native Paimon filtering and metadata-column correctness issues.
+- Fixed Iceberg partitioning, schema evolution, metadata-column, and residual-filter behavior.
+- Fixed Hudi scan option handling and prevented unsupported incremental queries from being converted to native scans.
+- Fixed native engine panics, core dumps, memory leaks, closed-channel crashes, and Java thread interruption errors.
+- Fixed driver-side spill NPEs, Uniffle reader and writer synchronization issues, and History Server compatibility when build information is missing.
+- Fixed timestamp timezone handling, ORC range bounds, stale build-version values, Scala 2.13 CI errors, and native metrics retrieval.
+
+## Notable Changes
+
+- **Flink becomes a first-class integration:** Auron 8.0.0 introduces a broader Flink runtime and planning foundation, including native Kafka ingestion and Calc conversion.
+- **Broader lakehouse acceleration:** Native scan coverage now spans key Apache Iceberg, Apache Hudi, and Apache Paimon scenarios with improved correctness and observability.
+- **Expanded native execution:** More Spark and Flink operators, scalar functions, aggregate filters, window functions, and join conditions can execute natively.
+- **Stronger cross-version validation:** Correctness suites and build workflows now cover more Spark, Scala, JDK, operating-system, and architecture combinations.
+- **Improved runtime stability:** This release resolves multiple crash, panic, NPE, thread-safety, watermark, and scan-correctness problems.
