+<p>The Apache Arrow team is pleased to announce the 0.5.0 release. It includes
+<a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20ARROW%20AND%20status%20in%20(Resolved%2C%20Closed)%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%200.5.0"><strong>130 resolved JIRAs</strong></a> with some new features, expanded integration
+testing between implementations, and bug fixes. The Arrow memory format remains
+stable since the 0.3.x and 0.4.x releases.</p>
+
+<p>See the <a href="http://arrow.apache.org/install">Install Page</a> to learn how to get the libraries for your
+platform. The <a href="http://arrow.apache.org/release/0.5.0.html">complete changelog</a> is also available.</p>
+
+<h2 id="expanded-integration-testing">Expanded Integration Testing</h2>
+
+<p>In this release, we added compatibility tests for dictionary-encoded data
+between Java and C++. This enables the distinct values (the <em>dictionary</em>) in a
+vector to be transmitted as part of an Arrow schema while the record batches
+contain integers which correspond to the dictionary.</p>
+
+<p>So we might have:</p>
+
+<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>data (string): ['foo', 'bar', 'foo', 'bar']
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>In dictionary-encoded form, this could be represented as:</p>
+
+<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>indices (int8): [0, 1, 0, 1]
+dictionary (string): ['foo', 'bar']
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>In upcoming releases, we plan to complete integration testing for the remaining
+data types (including some more complicated types like unions and decimals) on
+the road to a 1.0.0 release in the future.</p>
+
+<h2 id="c-activity">C++ Activity</h2>
+
+<p>We completed a number of significant pieces of work in the C++ part of Apache
+Arrow.</p>
+
+<h3 id="using-jemalloc-as-default-memory-allocator">Using jemalloc as default memory allocator</h3>
+
+<p>We decided to use <a href="https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc">jemalloc</a> as the default memory allocator unless it is
+explicitly disabled. This memory allocator has significant performance
+advantages in Arrow workloads over the default <code class="highlighter-rouge">malloc</code> implementation. We will
+publish a blog post going into more detail about this and why you might care.</p>
+
+<h3 id="sharing-more-c-code-with-apache-parquet">Sharing more C++ code with Apache Parquet</h3>
+
+<p>We imported the compression library interfaces and dictionary encoding
+algorithms from the <a href="http://github.com/apache/parquet-cpp">Apache Parquet C++ library</a>. The Parquet library now
+depends on this code in Arrow, and we will be able to use it more easily for
+data compression in Arrow use cases.</p>
+
+<p>As part of incorporating Parquet’s dictionary encoding utilities, we have
+developed an <code class="highlighter-rouge">arrow::DictionaryBuilder</code> class to enable building
+dictionary-encoded arrays iteratively. This can help save memory and yield
+better performance when interacting with databases, Parquet files, or other
+sources which may have columns having many duplicates.</p>
+
+<h3 id="support-for-lz4-and-zstd-compressors">Support for LZ4 and ZSTD compressors</h3>
+
+<p>We added LZ4 and ZSTD compression library support. In ARROW-300 and other
+planned work, we intend to add some compression features for data sent via RPC.</p>
+
+<h2 id="python-activity">Python Activity</h2>
+
+<p>We fixed many bugs which were affecting Parquet and Feather users and fixed
+several other rough edges with normal Arrow use. We also added some additional
+Arrow type conversions: structs, lists embedded in pandas objects, and Arrow
+time types (which deserialize to the <code class="highlighter-rouge">datetime.time</code> type).</p>
+
+<p>In upcoming releases we plan to continue to improve <a href="http://github.com/dask/dask">Dask</a> support and
+performance for distributed processing of Apache Parquet files with pyarrow.</p>
+
+<h2 id="the-road-ahead">The Road Ahead</h2>
+
+<p>We have much work ahead of us to build out Arrow integrations in other data
+systems to improve their processing performance and interoperability with other
+systems.</p>
+
+<p>We are discussing the roadmap to a future 1.0.0 release on the <a href="http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/arrow-dev/">developer
+mailing list</a>. Please join the discussion there.</p>

+
+&lt;p&gt;The Apache Arrow team is pleased to announce the 0.5.0 release. It includes
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20ARROW%20AND%20status%20in%20(Resolved%2C%20Closed)%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%200.5.0&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;130 resolved JIRAs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; with some new features, expanded integration
+testing between implementations, and bug fixes. The Arrow memory format remains
+stable since the 0.3.x and 0.4.x releases.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;See the &lt;a href=&quot;http://arrow.apache.org/install&quot;&gt;Install Page&lt;/a&gt; to learn how to get the libraries for your
+platform. The &lt;a href=&quot;http://arrow.apache.org/release/0.5.0.html&quot;&gt;complete changelog&lt;/a&gt; is also available.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h2 id=&quot;expanded-integration-testing&quot;&gt;Expanded Integration Testing&lt;/h2&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In this release, we added compatibility tests for dictionary-encoded data
+between Java and C++. This enables the distinct values (the &lt;em&gt;dictionary&lt;/em&gt;) in a
+vector to be transmitted as part of an Arrow schema while the record batches
+contain integers which correspond to the dictionary.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;So we might have:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;div class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;data (string): ['foo', 'bar', 'foo', 'bar']
+&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
+&lt;/div&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In dictionary-encoded form, this could be represented as:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;div class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;indices (int8): [0, 1, 0, 1]
+dictionary (string): ['foo', 'bar']
+&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
+&lt;/div&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In upcoming releases, we plan to complete integration testing for the remaining
+data types (including some more complicated types like unions and decimals) on
+the road to a 1.0.0 release in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h2 id=&quot;c-activity&quot;&gt;C++ Activity&lt;/h2&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We completed a number of significant pieces of work in the C++ part of Apache
+Arrow.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id=&quot;using-jemalloc-as-default-memory-allocator&quot;&gt;Using jemalloc as default memory allocator&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We decided to use &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc&quot;&gt;jemalloc&lt;/a&gt; as the default memory allocator unless it is
+explicitly disabled. This memory allocator has significant performance
+advantages in Arrow workloads over the default &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;malloc&lt;/code&gt; implementation. We will
+publish a blog post going into more detail about this and why you might care.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id=&quot;sharing-more-c-code-with-apache-parquet&quot;&gt;Sharing more C++ code with Apache Parquet&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We imported the compression library interfaces and dictionary encoding
+algorithms from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://github.com/apache/parquet-cpp&quot;&gt;Apache Parquet C++ library&lt;/a&gt;. The Parquet library now
+depends on this code in Arrow, and we will be able to use it more easily for
+data compression in Arrow use cases.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;As part of incorporating Parquet’s dictionary encoding utilities, we have
+developed an &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;arrow::DictionaryBuilder&lt;/code&gt; class to enable building
+dictionary-encoded arrays iteratively. This can help save memory and yield
+better performance when interacting with databases, Parquet files, or other
+sources which may have columns having many duplicates.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id=&quot;support-for-lz4-and-zstd-compressors&quot;&gt;Support for LZ4 and ZSTD compressors&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We added LZ4 and ZSTD compression library support. In ARROW-300 and other
+planned work, we intend to add some compression features for data sent via RPC.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h2 id=&quot;python-activity&quot;&gt;Python Activity&lt;/h2&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We fixed many bugs which were affecting Parquet and Feather users and fixed
+several other rough edges with normal Arrow use. We also added some additional
+Arrow type conversions: structs, lists embedded in pandas objects, and Arrow
+time types (which deserialize to the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;datetime.time&lt;/code&gt; type).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In upcoming releases we plan to continue to improve &lt;a href=&quot;http://github.com/dask/dask&quot;&gt;Dask&lt;/a&gt; support and
+performance for distributed processing of Apache Parquet files with pyarrow.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h2 id=&quot;the-road-ahead&quot;&gt;The Road Ahead&lt;/h2&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We have much work ahead of us to build out Arrow integrations in other data
+systems to improve their processing performance and interoperability with other
+systems.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We are discussing the roadmap to a future 1.0.0 release on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/arrow-dev/&quot;&gt;developer
+mailing list&lt;/a&gt;.
