ππ¦ Read all about it!

We are releasing DuckDB version 1.5.0, codenamed βVariegataβ. This release comes with a friendly CLI (a new, more ergonomic command line client), support for the VARIANT type, a built-in GEOMETRY type, along with many other features and optimizations. The v1.4.0 LTS line (βAndiumβ) will keep receiving updates until its end-of-life in September 2026.
