+We recently released the 5.0.0 Rust version of [Apache Arrow](https://arrow.apache.org/), and this post highlights some of the improvements we have made. The full changelog can be found [here](https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/blob/5.0.0/CHANGELOG.md).

+
+The Rust Arrow implementation would not be possible without the wonderful work and support of our community, and the 5.0.0 release is no exception. It includes 161 commits from 34 individual contributors, many of them with their first contribution. Thank you all very much.
+
+# Arrow
+This release contains bug fixes, performance improvements, and a slimmer dependency stack when default features are disabled. Documentation has been improved and more examples have been added.
+
+Feature-wise, there is a [new kernel](https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/424) which lexicographically partitions points as well as usability enhancements for creating and manipulating Record Batches. Arrow Flight's API usability has [been improved](https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/377)

Review comment:
       I think it would be good (from the perspective of the broader Arrow project) to say something about the FFI/C data interface improvements, which should allow for better integration with other projects in the Arrow ecosystem.

Review comment:
       Pet peeve: every release announcement everywhere says "bug fixes and performance improvements" to the point of it being meaningless. IMO it's better to call out specific bugs/perf improvements if they are widely noticeable, otherwise don't bother saying this; if anyone wants to know specifically what bugs were fixed, they can read the changelog.
