[Release] DataStax C# Driver v3.21.0

[Joao Reis]

Hi,

Version 3.21.0 of the DataStax C# Driver for Apache Cassandra is now generally available.

This release adds support for the vector type that was introduced by DataStax Astra and Apache Cassandra 5.0. With this release you can now perform vector related operations using this driver (e.g vector search).

There is still no support for the "ANN" operator in LINQ so if you need to use this operator for vector search (or other queries) then you have to use the Mapper or Simple/Prepared Statements.

The documentation for this release is not available on the Datastax website yet, we're working on it but it might take a few days. In the meantime, you can read the new driver docs page on vectors here.

See the full list of improvements and bug fixes contained in this release below.
