SageMaker authentication – Added support for the SageMaker authentication plugins SageMakerBrowserIdc and SageMakerIam. You can now connect to your SageMaker projects and work with the data from your preferred third-party tool. For more information, see SageMaker Browser IDC and SageMaker IAM.
Multi-catalog browsing – Added multi-catalog browsing support for lakehouse features. The driver can now discover and connect to all catalogs in federated catalog environments, enabling use of S3 Tables and catalog federation through Amazon Athena.
macOS universal installer – The macOS driver is now distributed as a single universal binary that supports both ARM and Intel architectures, simplifying installation across all Mac hardware.
HTTP client migration – Removed the libcurl dependency from ODBC binaries by migrating to the AWS SDK CRT HTTP client. The CRT client uses the platform's native TLS stack and system trust store, improving connection reliability and eliminating transitive dependencies on OpenSSL and zlib.
Fixes
Added ExternalId support for STS AssumeRole for cross-account role assumption. The ExternalId is read from the AWS profile configuration.
