Sep 1, 2025September 2025 (2025-09) monthly summary for spiceai/spiceai: Delivered high-impact features that enhance searchability, reliability, and operational robustness, while advancing maintainability and DevOps efficiency. Key features include full-text indexing for CDC/append streams with tests and asynchronous Databricks SQL Warehouse API support with polling for long-running queries. Acceleration system improvements added an acceleration_file_path helper and refactored error handling to boost robustness. CI/CD improvements optimized macOS builds, updated Docker/MongoDB workflows, and improved artifact caching, accelerating releases. Maintenance work upgraded dependencies and achieved Rust 1.89 compatibility to keep the stack current. Addressed critical bugs around Iceberg dataset health checks and zero-vector handling, and refined federation behavior in acceleration refresh. Overall impact: faster search and analytics readiness, more reliable data pipelines, reduced operational risk, and a smoother, more maintainable development and release process.
