More from delta-io/delta-rs
Added support for dropping NOT NULL column constraints and custom token credentials in Unity Catalog, plus lazy snapshot materialization and replay capabilities. Fixed delete operations on string columns and OPTIMIZE failures on Spark-written tables; Change Data Feed now respects commit timestamps and supports deletion vectors.
Python-delta v1.6.2 consolidates table URL parsing logic across platforms and exposes partition_values_map as a new public API for accessing partition metadata. The release also fixes merge operation barriers, preserves container values when null counts are invalid, and resolves SFTP dependency issues on Windows.
