Announcing the release of Spice v1.10.3! 🚀

v1.10.3 is a patch release with improved startup reliability, fixes for Azure BlobFS versioned containers, S3 custom endpoint query resolution, and a fix for the OpenAI Responses API.

What's New in v1.10.3

Additional Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Reliability: Telemetry exporter initialization now runs asynchronously, preventing blocked startup in environments with network restrictions (e.g., Kubernetes with restrictive network policies).
• Reliability: Fixed an issue where queries on Azure Blob containers with versioning enabled would fail with "Azure does not support suffix range requests" error in distributed query mode.
• Reliability: Fixed S3 location-based queries against custom S3 endpoints (e.g., MinIO, LocalStack). Queries with location predicates on datasets using s3_endpoint and s3_region parameters now correctly route to the configured endpoint instead of defaulting to AWS S3.
• Reliability: Fixed "project index out of bounds" errors in the query optimizer when union children have mismatched schemas. The optimizer now validates schema compatibility before applying projection pushdown.
• Reliability: Fixed an issue where the OpenAI Responses API (/v1/responses) was not working correctly.
