Please note that this is subject to change and we will provide updates as they become available.
+> * Azure Synapse Runtime for Apache Spark 3.3 has been in public preview since Nov 2022. As of Feb 23, 2023, we are excited to announce that after notable improvements in performance and stability, Azure Synapse Runtime for Apache Spark 3.3 now becomes generally available and ready for production workloads.
 > * The .NET Core 3.1 library has reached end of support and therefore has been removed from the Azure Synapse Runtime for Apache Spark 3.3, meaning users will no longer be able to access Spark APIs through C# and F# and execute C# code in notebooks and through jobs. For more information about Azure Synapse Runtime for Apache Spark 3.3 and its components, please refer to the Release Notes. Additionally, for more information about the guidelines for the availability of support throughout the life of a product which applies to Azure Synapse Analytics, please refer to the Lifecycle Policy.
