@@ -30,6 +30,7 @@ allowing the document to be loaded. Fix: Change parent class for Formula to Text
 * **Fixes Sphinx errors.** Fixes errors when running Sphinx `make html` and installs library to suppress warnings.
 * **Fixes a metadata backwards compatibility error** Problem: When calling `partition_via_api`, the hosted api may return an element schema that's newer than the current `unstructured`. In this case, metadata fields were added which did not exist in the local `ElementMetadata` dataclass, and `__init__()` threw an error. Fix: remove nonexistent fields before instantiating in `ElementMetadata.from_json()`. Importance: Crucial to avoid breaking changes when adding fields.
 * **Fixes issue with Discord connector when a channel returns `None`** Problem: Getting the `jump_url` from a nonexistent Discord `channel` fails. Fix: property `jump_url` is now retrieved within the same context as the messages from the channel. Importance: Avoids cascading issues when the connector fails to fetch information about a Discord channel.
+* **Fixes occasionally SIGABTR when writing table with `deltalake` on Linux** Problem: occasionally on Linux ingest can throw a `SIGABTR` when writing `deltalake` table even though the table was written correctly. Fix: put the writing function into a `Process` to ensure its execution to the fullest extent before returning to the main process. Importance: Improves stability of connectors using `deltalake`
