 ### Updated
 
 ### Fixed
+- Stripped `META-INF/maven/**` (`pom.properties`, `pom.xml`) from the uber and thin JARs.
 - Fixed `IntervalConverter` crash (`IllegalArgumentException: Invalid interval metadata`) when INTERVAL columns are returned via CloudFetch. Arrow metadata from CloudFetch uses underscored format (`INTERVAL_YEAR_MONTH`, `INTERVAL_DAY_TIME`) which the driver's regex did not accept.
 - Fixed primitive types within complex types (ARRAY, MAP, STRUCT) not being correctly parsed when Arrow serialization uses alternate formats: TIMESTAMP/TIMESTAMP_NTZ as epoch microseconds or component arrays, and BINARY as base64-encoded strings.
 - Fixed `PARSE_SYNTAX_ERROR` for column names containing special characters (e.g., dots) when `EnableBatchedInserts` is enabled, by re-quoting column names with backticks in reconstructed multi-row INSERT statements.
