+To install the new version, please visit the [installation guide]({% link docs/installation/index.html %}).

+We are proud to release DuckDB 1.3.0. This release is codenamed “CODENAME” after ...
+
+## What's New in 1.3.0
+
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+[**The release is built using `manylinux_2_28`.**](https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/pull/16956)
+Now that all mainstream distributions use [glibc 2.28](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2018-08/msg00000.html) or newer, we can retire the `_gcc4` special case for Linux binary distributions.
+
+### Fixes
+
+cgroup: https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/pull/16608
+
+### New Extension Features
+
+* encoding extension
+* Iceberg (Amazon S3 Tables, etc.)
+
+
+### New Features
+
+* [UUIDv7]({% link docs/preview/sql/data_types/numeric.md %}#uuidv7)
+* initial value for [`list_reduce`'s lambda function]({% link docs/preview/sql/functions/lambda.md %})
+
+
+
+## Final Thoughts
+
+TODO: conclusions and acknowledgement
+
+These were a few highlights – but there are many more features and improvements in this release.  There have been **over XX commits** by over YY contributors since we released 1.2.2.
+The full release notes can be [found on GitHub](https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/releases/tag/v1.3.0).

-> For some Linux ARM distributions (e.g., Python), two different binaries are distributed. These target either the `linux_arm64` or `linux_arm64_gcc4` platforms. Note that extension binaries are distributed for the first, but not the second. Effectively that means that on these platforms your glibc version needs to be 2.28 or higher to use the distributed extension binaries.

 Some extensions are distributed for the following platforms:
 
 * `windows_amd64_mingw`
 * `wasm_eh` and `wasm_mvp` (see [DuckDB-Wasm's extensions]({% link docs/preview/clients/wasm/extensions.md %}))
