+! DuckDB just (Feb 5th, 2025) released its latest version (1.2.0).
+! go-duckdb is working on moving to that version within the next few days.
+! However, we expect some breaking changes around pre-built static libraries and the arrow dependency.
+! Therefore, it is likely that go-duckdb moves to v2 to support DuckDB v1.2.0.
