+
+Feature parity with the PySpark 4.3.0 Spark Connect client. Items marked with a
+Spark version need a server of at least that version.
+
+### Added
 
-Minor-version release. Contains the same fixes as 0.2.1 (listed below); there
-are no functional changes beyond 0.2.1.
+- **Spark Connect 4.3.0 protocol.** Regenerated the vendored protobuf/gRPC stubs
+  from Spark v4.3.0 (`SparkConnect::SPARK_VERSION` is now `"4.3.0"`).
+- **Every `pyspark.sql.functions` function** except the UDF family: 280 new
+  functions (559 of PySpark's 562), including the HLL/KLL/Theta/Tuple sketch,
+  bitmap, variant (with the 4.3 `variant_set`/`variant_insert`/`variant_delete`/
+  `variant_array_append` family), vector (4.3), geospatial (`st_*`), TIME
+  (`make_time`, `time_*`, `current_time`), nanosecond timestamp (4.3), XML/CSV,
+  AES, URL, collation, `try_*`, interval, partition transform, `listagg`/
+  `string_agg`, `count_min_sketch`, `hmac`, base32, `jaro_winkler_similarity`,
+  `call_function`, `assert_true`/`raise_error`, and `broadcast` functions, plus
+  the PySpark 4.3 parameters `instr(..., start, occurrence)`,
+  `regexp_replace(..., position)`, and `max_by`/`min_by(..., k)`, an
+  `array_sort` comparator, and PySpark's camelCase aliases (`bitwiseNOT`,
+  `shiftLeft`, `toDegrees`, ...). `udf`, `udtf`, and `arrow_udtf` raise
+  `NotImplementedError`.
+- **DataFrame**: `zip` (4.3), `nearest_by_join` (4.2), `repartition_by_id` (4.1),
+  `lateral_join`, `transpose`, `scalar`/`exists` subqueries, `as_table` table
+  arguments (`TableArg`), `group_by(..., grouping_sets:)`, `merge_into`
+  (`MergeIntoWriter`), `zip_with_index`, `tail`, `with_metadata`,
+  `metadata_column`, `random_split`, `cache`/`persist`/`unpersist`/
+  `storage_level`/`cached?` with `SparkConnect::StorageLevel`,
+  `local_checkpoint(storage_level:)`, `register_temp_table`, `df[...]` by name,
+  index, Column (filter), or Array (select), the NA/stat shortcuts (`dropna`,
+  `fillna`, `replace`, `approx_quantile`, `corr`, `cov`, `crosstab`,
+  `freq_items`, `sample_by`), and PySpark camelCase aliases (`isEmpty`,
+  `sameSemantics`, `semanticHash`, `inputFiles`, ...).
+- **Column**: `isin(df)` IN-subqueries (Spark 4.1+), `try_cast`,
+  `with_field`, `drop_fields`, `outer`, `transform`, qualified stars
+  (`F.col("t.*")`), and the `bitwiseAND`/`bitwiseOR`/`bitwiseXOR`/
+  `eqNullSafe`/`isNaN`/`getItem`/`getField` aliases.
+- **Session**: `empty_data_frame`, `clone_session` (4.1), `tvf`
+  (table-valued functions), progress handlers
+  (`register_progress_handler`/`remove_progress_handler`/
+  `clear_progress_handlers`, reporting `StageInfo`s), `stopped?`, and the
+  `SparkSession.active`/`get_active_session`/`default_session` lookups. The
+  builder gained `channel_builder`, `config(hash)`, a block form that stops the
+  session afterwards, `master` (no-op), and `enable_hive_support` (raises, as
+  in PySpark).
+- **Client**: `get_operation_statuses` (the 4.2 `GetStatus` RPC), per-RPC
+  deadlines (`SparkConnect::RpcDeadlines`), and `close`/`closed?`.
+- **Connection strings**: the `grpc_keepalive_enabled`,
+  `grpc_keepalive_time_ms`, `grpc_keepalive_timeout_ms`, and
+  `grpc_keepalive_without_calls` parameters (keepalive is on by default, like
+  the 4.3 clients), a `SPARK_CONNECT_AUTHENTICATE_TOKEN` default for `token`,
+  and 128 MiB gRPC message limits.
+- **Catalog** (4.2): `drop_table`, `drop_view`, `create_database`,
+  `drop_database`, `list_partitions`, `list_views`, `get_table_properties`,
+  `get_create_table_string`, `truncate_table`, and `analyze_table`; plus
+  `get_database`, `get_table`, `get_function`, `refresh_by_path`, name
+  patterns for the `list_*` methods, `cache_table(storage_level)`, and
+  camelCase aliases.
+- **Reading and writing**: `read.changes` (4.2), `read.xml`, parsing a
+  DataFrame of JSON/CSV/XML strings (`read.json(df)`; XML needs 4.2),
+  partitioned `read.jdbc`; `write.cluster_by`, `write.xml`, `write.jdbc`,
+  `with_schema_evolution` (4.2) on both writers, and `write_to(...).options`/
+  `partitioned_by`/`cluster_by`.
+- **Structured Streaming**: `read_stream.name` (named sources, 4.2),
+  `read_stream.changes` (4.2), `read_stream.xml`, `write_stream.cluster_by`,
+  `trigger(real_time: ...)` (4.2), keyword shortcuts on `start`/`to_table`,
+  `StreamingQueryListener` with `streams.add_listener`/`remove_listener`, and
+  camelCase aliases on `StreamingQuery`.
+- **Declarative Pipelines**: `create_streaming_table` and
+  `create_auto_cdc_flow` (4.2).
+- **Types**: `TimeType` and `GeometryType`/`GeographyType` (4.1),
+  `TimestampNTZNanosType`/`TimestampLTZNanosType` (4.3), and decoding of
+  user-defined types (`UserDefinedType`); TIME values decode to `Arrow::Time`
+  and nanosecond timestamps keep their nanoseconds.
+- `RuntimeConfig#set_all` and the `is_modifiable`/`isModifiable` aliases.
+- `Observation#get` raises the server's error when a metric failed (4.2).
+- Spark 4.3.0 is now the first entry of the CI integration matrix.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Function arguments follow PySpark's conventions exactly** (each function
+  was checked against PySpark 4.3.0 expression for expression). Where PySpark
+  takes a column, a String is a column name, so `F.date_add("d", "n")`,
+  `F.add_months`, `F.date_sub`, `F.substring`, `F.slice`, `F.overlay`,
+  `F.repeat`, `F.array_repeat`, `F.array_insert`, the `split` limit, and the
+  `regexp_like`/`regexp_count`/`regexp_substr`/`regexp_extract_all` pattern
+  now read columns where they used to send String literals; wrap literals in
+  `F.lit`.
+- **Client-side random seeds.** `F.rand`, `F.randn`, `F.uuid`, `F.shuffle` (and
+  the new `randstr`, `uniform`, `count_min_sketch`), `DataFrame#sample`,
+  `random_split`, and `sample_by` pick a seed on the client when none is given,
+  so a DataFrame returns the same values on every action. On Spark 3.5
+  servers, `F.uuid`, `F.shuffle`, and `F.mode` (which now sends its
+  `deterministic` flag) need `F.expr` instead.
+- `F.mean`, `F.pow`, and one-argument `F.log` send `avg`, `power`, and `ln`
+  like PySpark, so their result columns are named accordingly; the base of
+  `F.log(base, col)` is a literal.
+- `F.lit(BigDecimal(...))` is tagged `decimal(10, 0)` like PySpark; the server
+  widens it to fit the value (`1.5` becomes `decimal(10,1)` instead of
+  `decimal(2,1)`).
+- `df["x"]`, `df.col("x")`, `df.x`, `col_regex`, and `pivot("x")` refer to that
+  DataFrame's column (bound to its plan id, like PySpark), which disambiguates
+  self-joins. `group_by`/`rollup`/`cube` accept 1-based ordinals, and `join`
+  accepts an Array of Column conditions (combined with AND) and rejects
+  DataFrames from another session.
+- `GroupedData`: `sum`/`avg`/`mean`/`max`/`min` without columns aggregate
+  every numeric column; `agg` without expressions raises; `pivot` is only
+  allowed directly after `group_by` (`NotImplementedError` otherwise).
+- `DataFrameNaFunctions`: `drop`, `fill`, and `replace` validate their
+  arguments like PySpark; `replace` needs a `value` unless `to_replace` is a
+  Hash, and integer replacement values are sent as doubles.
+- `StatFunctions#corr` raises unless the method is `"pearson"`.
+- Reader/writer/stream `option(key, nil)` is ignored (it used to send `""`),
+  and `DataFrameWriter#mode(nil)` is a no-op.
+- Builder options are applied with one request that silently skips options the
+  session cannot change (as PySpark does), and `spark.remote`/`spark.master`
+  are never sent; `get_or_create` applies them to an existing session too, and
+  `create` makes the new session active.
+- `new_session` follows PySpark 4.3: always a fresh, empty server-side session
+  against the same endpoint.
+- `SparkSession#stop` also closes the gRPC channel and stops the listener bus,
+  and is idempotent.
+- Every connection-string parameter the client does not consume is now sent as
+  gRPC request metadata (it used to be only `x-*` ones), and `session_id` must
+  be a UUID (`ConnectionError` otherwise).
+- Non-streaming RPCs have deadlines (1 hour for `AnalyzePlan`, 10 minutes for
+  the others); `ExecutePlan` has none.
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- **Correct `TimestampType` instants in `create_data_frame`.** Timestamp columns
-  were shipped as zone-less Arrow timestamps, so the server interpreted the epoch
-  micros as session-local wall-clock and shifted the value by the session time
-  zone. They are now tagged UTC; `TimestampNTZType` remains zone-less.
-- **`RuntimeConfig#get` with a non-String default no longer raises.** A non-String
-  default (e.g. `conf.get(key, 8)`) was passed straight into a protobuf string
-  field, raising `Google::Protobuf::TypeError`. The default is now coerced to a
-  String, matching `#set`.
-- **No duplicate rows when an execute stream is retried.** The result accumulator
-  was created outside the retry loop, so a mid-stream gRPC failure replayed
-  already-consumed Arrow batches and duplicated rows on retry. The accumulator is
-  now reset per attempt.
-- **`DataFrame#drop_duplicates_within_watermark` is now watermark-aware.** It was a
-  plain alias of `#drop_duplicates` and never set the `within_watermark` flag, so
-  it silently performed an ordinary deduplication. Added a `dropDuplicatesWithinWatermark`
-  alias.
-- **`SparkSession::Builder#app_name` is now applied.** `create` explicitly skipped
-  `spark.app.name`, making `#app_name` a no-op; all builder options are now
-  forwarded to the new session.
-- Corrected misleading doc comments for `Functions#nanvl` and `DataFrame#except_all`.
+- `F.bitwise_not`/`F.bitwiseNOT` and `F.negate` sent function names the server
+  does not resolve (`bitwise_not`, `negate`); they now send `~` and `negative`.
+- `F.from_json`, `F.to_json`, and `F.schema_of_json` flattened their options
+  into extra arguments instead of passing one map, so any options failed.
+- `F.trim`, `F.ltrim`, and `F.rtrim` with a trim string sent their arguments in
+  the wrong order.
+- `StreamingQuery#exception` raised `NoMethodError` for a query without an
+  exception.
+- `DataFrameReader#schema(StructType)` lost non-nullable fields and metadata;
+  the schema is now sent as JSON, like PySpark.
+- `Observation#get` returned raw protobuf messages (decimal, array, map, and
+  struct metrics) or epoch integers (date and timestamp metrics).
+- `new_session` reused the `session_id` of the connection string, so the "new"
+  session was the same server-side session.
