AI Summary

This release focuses on performance optimizations, bug fixes, and documentation improvements for the Python Polars library. It addresses a specific memory usage regression and enhances expression handling capabilities.

Key Highlights

  • Adaptive size dispatch in `agg_n_unique` for improved performance.
  • Fix for memory usage regression affecting TPCH Q22.
  • Fix for precision loss in smaller floating-point types.
  • Allow deeper expressions.
  • New `POLARS_ALLOW_NESTED_CSPE` environment variable for controlling nested Cross-Stream Predicate Evaluation.

New Features

  • Allow deeper expressions.
  • New `POLARS_ALLOW_NESTED_CSPE` environment variable.
  • Stabilization of object store `credentialprovider` cache key.
