 Dependabot runs monthly to keep the noise down, so the pinned dependencies in `uv.lock` may be stale by the time of a release. Before cutting the release candidate, go to the [Dependabot page](https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/network/updates) in the repository's Insights tab and trigger a manual check for both the `uv` and `github-actions` ecosystems. Review and merge the resulting PRs so the release ships with up-to-date dependencies.

 ### Update Library Version
 
 Update the release version by running `uv version <release-version>`, which updates both `pyproject.toml` and `uv.lock`. Then update the version in `pyiceberg/__init__.py` to match.
