[ANNOUNCE] Apache Calcite 1.32.0 released

[Julian Hyde <jh...@apache.org>]

The Apache Calcite team is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Calcite 1.32.0.

Calcite is a dynamic data management framework. Its cost-based
optimizer converts queries, represented in relational algebra, into
executable plans. Calcite supports many front-end languages and
back-end data engines, and includes an SQL parser and, as a
sub-project, the Avatica JDBC driver.

This release fixes CVE-2022-39135, an XML External Entity (XEE)
vulnerability that allows a SQL query to read the contents of files
via the SQL functions EXISTS_NODE, EXTRACT_XML, XML_TRANSFORM or
EXTRACT_VALUE (CALCITE-5263).

Coming 1 month after 1.31.0 with 19 issues fixed by 16 contributors,
this release also replaces the ESRI spatial engine with JTS and proj4j
(CALCITE-4294), adds 65 spatial SQL functions including ST_Centroid,
ST_Covers and ST_GeomFromGeoJSON (CALCITE-5262), adds the CHAR SQL
function (CALCITE-5241), and improves the return type of the ARRAY and
MULTISET functions (CALCITE-4999).

You can start using it in Maven by simply updating your dependency to:

  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.calcite</groupId>
    <artifactId>calcite-core</artifactId>
