v1.0.0-rc.1

GeoParquet 1.0.0-rc.1 is our first release candidate. If we hear no blocking issues by the end of August (2023), then this version of the spec will be released as 1.0.0. So this is your last chance to try it out before it is finalized, and after this release there will be no breaking changes until GeoParquet 2.0.

There were actually no core spec changes between 1.0.0-beta.1 and 1.0.0-rc.1. The only change was the addition of a set of recommendations on parquet geospatial compatibility, with the aim to help data providers make their Parquet data more compatible with tools that can then easily transform it to GeoParquet.
