| 3 minute read
Great Expectations 1.18.2 was published on June 26, 2026, with a targeted Spark Connect compatibility fix for Spark distinct value metrics. The release also clears BigQuery and Python 3.13 maintenance friction, fixes scheduled CI noise, and updates the docs build stack. It is a small patch release, but it touches the kind of edges that show up in real data validation work.
