 #### Bug Fixes
 
+- Fixed a bug where using parameter bindings for `CALL` queries issued through `session.sql` would raise an error.
+- Fixed a bug where `StringType` columns from Iceberg tables were not recognized as max-size strings.
+- Improved the `FileNotFoundError` message raised when `INFER_SCHEMA` returns zero rows so it also points to file format options (`PARSE_HEADER`, `SKIP_HEADER`, `ON_ERROR=CONTINUE`) that can silently filter everything out, instead of only suggesting a missing path.
+
+#### Deprecations
+
+- Removed support for Python 3.9.
+
 #### Improvements
 
 - When `Session.reduce_describe_query_enabled` is enabled, fewer DESCRIBE queries are issued when the outer query only projects or renames columns from an inner subquery whose column types are already known.
