*
v3.5 is the current
Stable version. It is the designated Long-Term Support (LTS) branch for production environments that prioritize reliability over the latest feature set.
*
v4.1 is the
Latest version. This is the most recent minor release (v4.1.1 was released in May 2026) and includes the newest features like multi-tenant range-based tablet auto-splitting and native support for Iceberg Variant data.
