+- Improved driver telemetry (opt-in feature) for better monitoring and debugging
+- Enhanced test infrastructure to improve accuracy and reliability
+- Added SQL state support in SEA mode
+- Changes to JDBC URL parameters (to ensure compatibility with the latest Databricks driver):

+# Databricks JDBC Driver v1.0.3 Release Notes
+
+We're excited to announce the release of Databricks JDBC Driver v1.0.3. This release introduces significant new features and improvements, including centralized timeout management, custom retry strategies, and Azure Managed Identity authentication.
+
+## What's New in v1.0.3
+
+### Added Features
+- **Timeout Management**
+  - Introduces a centralized timeout check and automatic cancellation for statements
+
+- **Connection Parameters**
+  - Allows specifying a default size for `STRING` columns (set to 255 by default) via `defaultStringColumnLength` connection parameter
+  - Allows adjusting the number of rows retrieved in each fetch operation for better performance via `RowsFetchedPerBlock` parameter
+  - Allows overriding the default OAuth redirect port (8020) with a single port or comma-separated list of ports using `OAuth2RedirectUrlPort`
+  - Support for custom headers in the JDBC URL via `http.header.<key>=<value>` connection parameter
+
+- **Retry and Performance**
+  - Implements a custom retry strategy to handle long-running tasks and connection attempts
+  - Adds existence checks for volumes, objects, and prefixes to improve operational coverage
+
+- **Authentication**
+  - Added support for Azure Managed Identity based authentication
+
+### Updated
+- Removes the hard-coded default poll interval configuration in favor of a user-defined parameter for greater flexibility
+- Adjusts the handling of `NULL` and non-`NULL` boolean values
+
+### Fixed Issues
+- Ensures the driver respects the configured limit on the number of rows returned
+- Improves retry behaviour to cover all operations, relying solely on the total retry time specified via the driver URL parameter
+- Returns an exception instead of `-1` when a column is not found
+
+## Previous Release: v1.0.2
+
+### Fixed Issues
+- Fixed `columnType` conversion for `Variant` and `Timestamp_NTZ` types
