December 2025 — trinodb/trino: Modernized the type system and user-facing renderings, improving reliability, maintainability, and business value. Delivered user-visible type rendering enhancements, completed a major TypeParameter lifecycle refactor, removed legacy NamedType abstractions, and migrated core code to Type/TypeId. Centralized type handling in trino-main, added direct type construction for Array/Map/Row, and eliminated reliance on TypeSignature in type contexts. Released readiness tasks completed with Maven-based prep work and improved error handling (TypeNotFoundException) to support friendlier UX. Fixed a test bug related to type parameter mismatch and improved code hygiene across the module. Overall impact: clearer, faster type processing, reduced technical debt, and smoother future feature delivery.
