May 1, 2026May 2026 focused on stabilizing WAP branch delete workflows in Apache Iceberg and delivering a critical correctness fix via backports to Spark across multiple versions. Implemented a fix so canDeleteWhere() scans the correct branch when WAP is enabled, preventing incorrect approvals for metadata-only deletes. The change also included a code style improvement and was backported to v3.4, v3.5, and v4.0, as reflected by Spark PR backport (#15512) and the associated commit (57b1211b7477f9f4a5e79a4cf6f6505d63ded4e8).
