Spice v1.3.1 (May 26, 2025)

Announcing the release of Spice v1.3.1! 🛡️

Spice v1.3.1 includes improvements to Databricks SQL Warehouse support and parameterized query handling, along with several bugfixes.

What's New in v1.3.1

• Databricks SQL Warehouse Added support for the STRUCT type, enabled join pushdown for queries within the same SQL Warehouse and added projection to logical plans to force federation with correct SQL dialect.

• SQL Improvements: Fixed an issue where ILike was incorrectly optimized to string equality in DataFusion/Arrow and aliased the random() function to rand() for better compatibility.

• Parameterized Queries: Fixed parameter schema ordering for queries with more than 10 parameters and resolved placeholder inference issues in CASE expressions.
