    I went through the list of commits on main and found some panics / regressions i think would be good to fix on branch-52 and added them to this list.

    Note: #20048 does not affect branch-52 (the affected code is only present in main).

    I am only going to backport PRs that look like they are regressions / serious issues

    I think #20900 also doesn't apply to 52

    Note: #20900 is not applicable to branch-52 (requires changes that got added in branch-53, not main)

    Note: #20306 was dropped from the release as it does not apply cleanly and the fix still panics on branch-52.

    I think this would be nice to include #21155 I think we have a branch resolving it on top of 52.3 we were using internally https://github.com/rerun-io/arrow-datafusion/tree/tsaucer/52.3.0-inner-ffi

    #21155 / @timsaucer / [TODO BACKPORT PR]

    Ok, we have the content in.

    I updated the version bump / changelog

    Once that is good I'll move on to making a release candidate
