@alamb It may be better that arrow-rs creates GibHub Releases (https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/releases) with the generated changelog. FYI: We can create a GitHub Releases by gh release create ${GITHUB_REF_NAME} --notes-file CHANGELOG.md (with env: GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}) by GItHub Actions automatically. See also https://github.com/apache/arrow-java/blob/main/.github/workflows/release.yml .

I will review / see if we can do that for the 54.1.0 release

I have created a PR for version + CHANGELOG:

• Prepare for 54.1.0 release arrow-rs#7031

I would love to get this PR from @Chen-Yuan-Lai in too:

• Add is_valid and truncate methods to NullBufferBuilder arrow-rs#7013

But strictly speaking it is not blocking the release
