Thanks for compiling this

After merging your PR, Conbench analyzed the 3 benchmarking runs that have been run so far on merge-commit c7cb411.

There were no benchmark performance regressions. 🎉

The full Conbench report has more details. It also includes information about 2 possible false positives for unstable benchmarks that are known to sometimes produce them.

@kou could it be that merging this PR before closing the release (and executing the post-10-bump-versions.sh) breaks the Source Release and Merge Script tests?
I can see this in main and PRs and I think this is the only thing that could affect:

• main
• PR

Ah, we may have a problem with post-10-bump-versions.sh but let's fix it manually when post-10-bump-versions.sh causes a problem. I can help it.

FYI: I have an Apache Arrow related talk at RubyKaigi 2026 this week: https://rubykaigi.org/2026/presentations/ktou.html
My responses may be slow this week. Sorry.

Ah, my bad - I think I should have not updated the version here; if it's easier we can always revert the version number in the R DESCRIPTION file and keep the entries?

I've run $ dev/release/post-10-bump-versions.sh 24.0.0 25.0.0 successfully. I'll take a look if I see CI failures or something strange but the local run was succesful.
