🦆 Announcing DuckDB 2.0.0 LTS “Cinnamon Teal”
We are proud to release DuckDB 2.0.0, named after the cinnamon teal (Spatula cyanoptera), a striking reddish-brown duck found in the western Americas. 🌎
DuckDB 2.0.0 is the biggest DuckDB feature release so far. It ships a polished version of the Quack protocol, which turns DuckDB into a full-fledged server. It improves performance and lowers costs through supporting asynchronous I/O, a first-class VARIANT type, and a dedicated “agent mode”. It also empowers extension developers with a new SQL parser that allows adding new statements, clauses, and keywords, a new API to build on, and a new mechanism to distribute extensions more easily.
In our announcement blog post, we summarize the highlights and then walk through the key changes and give guidance on how to migrate to 2.0. For the complete release notes, see the release page on GitHub.

#DuckDB
Has anyone had positive experience with ASD-STE100 and agents? When generating plans and tasks I see marginally different content yet more incorrect statements.
This is Pele, my new rendering library for diagrams and charts, compatible with the latest Mermaid syntax.
- 100-500× faster than mermaid.js
- 6× smaller bundle
- No dependencies
- Easy to theme
- Responsive to device width
In pursuit of making Obsidian insanely fast and cohesively designed, I always found the Mermaid library to be too big, too slow, and too hard to theme. Pele will be the new renderer in the next version of Obsidian, but you can start using it now.
Pele [ˈpɛlɛ] is named after the goddess of volcanoes and fire. It's open source under the MIT license. Try the playground!

I wanted my knowledge base local: Markdown in Obsidian. Confluence exports a whiteboard as an image, one board at a time. I wanted them editable, in bulk.
So I built a tool: whole spaces to JSON Canvas (editable in Obsidian), SVG or interactive HTML 👇

We just released Polars 2.0.
It removed many of our legacy decisions makes the streaming engine our default and promotes SQL to a first class citizen within Polars.
It comes with initial out-of-core (spill to disk) support, a new Map data type and a lot of performance improvements. In fact, we think Polars is now one of the fastest analytical SQL engines on a single node. See benchmarks in the post: pola.rs/posts/release-polars…
