 description = "Apache Beam is an open source, unified model and set of language-specific SDKs for defining and executing data processing workflows, and also data ingestion and integration flows, supporting Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIPs) and Domain Specific Languages (DSLs). Dataflow pipelines simplify the mechanics of large-scale batch and streaming data processing and can run on a number of runtimes like Apache Flink, Apache Spark, and Google Cloud Dataflow (a cloud service). Beam also brings DSL in different languages, allowing users to easily implement their data integration processes."

+<!--more-->
+
+For more information on changes in 2.49.0, check out the [detailed release notes](https://github.com/apache/beam/milestone/13).
+
+## I/Os
+
+* Support for Bigtable Change Streams added in Java `BigtableIO.ReadChangeStream` ([#27183](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/27183)).
+* Added Bigtable Read and Write cross-language transforms to Python SDK (([#26593](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/26593)), ([#27146](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/27146))).
+
+## New Features / Improvements
+
+* Allow prebuilding large images when using `--prebuild_sdk_container_engine=cloud_build`, like images depending on `tensorflow` or `torch` ([#27023](https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/27023)).
+* Disabled `pip` cache when installing packages on the workers. This reduces the size of prebuilt Python container images ([#27035](https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/27035)).
+* Select dedicated avro datum reader and writer (Java) ([#18874](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/18874)).
+* Timer API for the Go SDK (Go) ([#22737](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/22737)).
+
+
+## Deprecations
+
+* Remove Python 3.7 support. ([#26447](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/26447))
+
+## Bugfixes
+
+* Fixed KinesisIO `NullPointerException` when a progress check is made before the reader is started (IO) ([#23868](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/23868))
