 ## Core
 
-1. We've published an [RFC](https://github.com/vortex-data/vortex/pull/4726) presenting our planned changes to how arrays and compute interact with each other, introducing what we call Operators.
-1. We merged a few big changes to the IO APIs ([#4557](https://github.com/vortex-data/vortex/pull/4608), [#4608](https://github.com/vortex-data/vortex/pull/4608)), which introduce new push-based write API (in addition to the existing stream-based one), and writes now return both the file's footer (which can now be cached, reused and even de/serialized [#4598](https://github.com/vortex-data/vortex/pull/4608)), and the file's total compressed size.
-1. We've added a new encoding - [fastlanes](https://github.com/spiraldb/fastlanes)-based RLE [#4588](https://github.com/vortex-data/vortex/pull/4588).

-1. We've added a new canonical encoding for list types, see the [tracking issue](https://github.com/vortex-data/vortex/issues/4699) for full details and work.
-1. We've fixed a long-standing issue where we used to underestimate the uncompressed size of arrays, causing inaccurate array stats and a consistent underestimation of the overall data size. [#4963](https://github.com/vortex-data/vortex/pull/4693).

 ## Integrations
 
 ### DuckDB
 
-1. We've both updated our DuckDB binding to support the most recent release ([1.4 - Andium](https://duckdb.org/2025/09/16/announcing-duckdb-140.html)) [#4667](https://github.com/vortex-data/vortex/pull/4667).
-1. We've improved the testing of our DuckDB extension, making it easier and faster to run tests, using a debug build of DuckDB.
+1. Landed a release of the Vortex extension for the most recent DuckDB release (1.4). As always, you can install and load the extension with:
+
+   ```sql
+   INSTALL vortex FROM community;
+   LOAD vortex;
+   ```
