Known Issues
When debugging your project that uses DuckDB.NET library, you may get the following error: System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. The error happens due to debugger interaction with the native memory. For a workaround check out Debugger Options mess up debugging session during Marshalling

- Updated to DuckDB v1.5.0
- Dropped netstandard2.0 and net6.0 (now targets net8.0+)
New features:
- High-level scalar function API
- High-level table function API
- Named parameters for table functions via [Named] attribute
- NULL handling for scalar functions inferred from nullable parameter types (int?, string?)
- Appender Clear() method to discard in-progress rows
Performance:
- Reuse vector readers across chunks instead of recreating per chunk
- Migrated from DllImport to LibraryImport with source-generated P/Invoke
- Cache enum dictionary lookups in EnumVectorDataReader
- Expression tree-based nullable GetValue
- SuppressGCTransition on trivial native calls
- AggressiveInlining on hot-path methods
- Appender value writes split by struct/class to avoid boxing
