+Announcing the release of Spice v1.0.5 🧊
+
+Spice v1.0.5 expands Iceberg support with the introduction of the **Iceberg Data Connector**, in addition to the existing Iceberg Catalog Connector. This new connector enables direct dataset creation and configuration for specific Iceberg objects, enabling federated and accelerated SQL queries on [Apache Iceberg](https://iceberg.apache.org/) tables.
+
+Performance improvements include object-store optimized Parquet pruning in append mode, where object-store metadata is now leveraged alongside Hive partitioning to optimize file pruning. This results in faster and more efficient queries.
+
+DuckDB has been upgraded to v1.2.0, along with additional stability improvements, including improved graceful shutdown and the ability to configure the DuckDB memory limit.
+
+Additional updates include support for the Arrow Map type.
+
+## Highlights in v1.0.5
+
+- **New Iceberg Data Connector**: Enables direct dataset creation and querying of Iceberg tables.
+
+  Example usage in `spicepod.yaml`:
+
+  ```yaml
+  datasets:
+    - from: iceberg:https://iceberg-catalog-host.com/v1/namespaces/my_namespace/tables/my_table
+      name: my_table
+      params:
+        # Same as Iceberg Catalog Connector
+      acceleration:
+        enabled: true
+  ```
+  For detailed setup instructions, authentication options, and configuration parameters, refer to the [Iceberg Data Connector documentation](https://spiceai.org/docs/components/data-connectors/iceberg).
+
+- **Improved Parquet pruning in append mode**: Uses object-store metadata for more efficient file pruning.
+
+- **DuckDB upgrade to v1.2.0 with improved graceful shutdown**: Read the [DuckDB v1.2.0 announcement](https://duckdb.org/2025/02/05/announcing-duckdb-120.html) for details, including breaking changes for `map` and `list_reduce`. Graceful shutdown of DuckDB has been improved for better stability across restarts.
+
+- **Configurable DuckDB memory limit**: Use the `duckdb_memory_limit` parameter to set the DuckDB acceleration memory limit:
+
+  ```yaml
+  - from: spice.ai:path.to.my_dataset
+     name: my_dataset
+     acceleration:
+       params: 
+         duckdb_memory_limit: '2GB'
+       enabled: true
+       engine: duckdb
+       mode: file
+  ```
