+Apache Polaris 1.0.0-incubating was released on July 9th, 2025.
+- **Highlights**
+    - First release ready for real-world workloads after the public beta 0.9.0
+    - **Binary distribution** -- first release with single downloadable .tgz 
or .zip artifact.
+    - **Helm Chart** – debut of an official Helm chart for seamless Kubernetes 
deployment
+- **New features & enhancements**
+    - **Policy Store** — persistence with schema evolution, built‑in TMS 
policies (Data compaction, Snapshot expiry, etc) and REST CRUD endpoints
+    - **Postgres JDBC persistence** — native JDBC backend with robust support 
for concurrent changes.
+    - **Rollback Compaction on Conflicts** - Makes Polaris smarter, to revert 
the compaction commits in case of crunch to let the writers who are actually 
adding or removing the data to the table succeed. In a sense treating 
compaction as always a lower priority process.
+    - **Enhanced runtime** — new runtime powered by Quarkus delivers 
out‑of‑the‑box Kubernetes readiness, quick startup, OIDC integration, and many 
other benefits. Polaris server and admin tool are now using Quarkus as a 
runtime framework.
+    - **HTTP caching via ETag** — the loadTable endpoint supports ETag, 
reducing bandwidth and improving perceived latency
+    - **Support for external identity providers (IdP)** — Polaris can now be 
its own IdP, delegate to an external IdP, or both
+    - **Snapshot filtering** – Clients can choose to load only referenced 
snapshots
+    - **Catalog Federation (experimental)** – Federate requests to an external 
Iceberg REST or Hadoop Catalog
+    - **Generic Tables (experimental)** — serve multiple table formats (Delta, 
CSV, Parquet) besides Iceberg tables; initial Spark 3.5 plugin supports Delta 
Lake

Review Comment:
   let's only mention delta for now, the other formats are not well tested yet, 
even though we have briefly tested it out
