Apache Iceberg released Python 0.12.0 with 470+ merged PRs adding REST catalog view support, concurrent commit handling, incremental append scans, and geometry type support. The release fixes numerous correctness bugs and bumps minimum dependencies for PyArrow and PyIceberg-core.

• REST catalog now supports creating, loading, listing, and dropping Iceberg views with a View object API
• Writes now retry on concurrent commits and validate for conflicts instead of failing silently
• 40+ bug fixes address critical issues like partition pruning, null/NaN handling, timestamp parsing, and decimal encoding
• Minimum PyArrow bumped from 17.0.0 to 18.0.0; PyIceberg-core requirement increased to >=0.10.1,<0.11.0
