How this list is maintained
Every entry traces to a public Databricks source. We extract feature mentions from blog posts as they land, normalize the names, and stamp the status the post claims. We do not have the private-AE roadmap — if a feature exists but hasn't been publicly mentioned, it won't be here. See a stale entry or a missing one? Tell us.
