pyiceberg-0.8.1

Full Changelog: pyiceberg-0.8.0...pyiceberg-0.8.1

Patch Release PR: #1384

What's Changed

The behavior of Table.name is changed to return the table name without the catalog name. This is a broader effort to remove references to the catalog name in pyiceberg.

• Replace usage of Table.identifier with Table.name which returns the table name without the catalog name
• Replace the use of a deprecated function (identifier_to_tuple_without_catalog) in pyiceberg; remove unnecessary warnings

Documentation updates are included to reflect the updated process in https://py.iceberg.apache.org/

• Update “how to release” documentation
• 0.8.0 post-release steps

Bug fixes

• Fix add_files for parquet files without column stats
• Allow leading underscore in column name used in row filter
• Ignore tables without table_type property from Glue and Hive
• Write null in manifest list metadata when there is no parent-snapshot-id

Remove upper bound restrictions for dependency libraries; allow early testing of new versions

• Remove Python library version upper bound restriction; allow Python 3.13
• Remove fsspec library version upper bound restriction
