+title: 'Spice v0.17.2-beta (August 26, 2024)'
+type: blog
+author: Spice AI ([@spice_ai](https://twitter.com/spice_ai))
+categories: [release]
+tags: [data accelerator, duckdb, sqlite, postgresql, error handling, telemetry]
+---
+
+The v0.17.2-beta release focuses on improving data accelerator compatibility, stability, and performance. Expanded data type support for DuckDB, SQLite, and PostgreSQL data accelerators (and data connectors) enables significantly more data types to be accelerated. Error handling and logging has also been improved along with several bugs.
+
+## Highlights in v0.17.2-beta
+
+**Expanded Data Type Support for Data Accelerators:** DuckDB, SQLite, and PostgreSQL Data Accelerators now support a wider range of data types, enabling acceleration of more diverse datasets.
+
+**Enhanced Error Handling and Logging:** Improvements have been made to aid in troubleshooting and debugging.
+
+**Anonymous Usage Telemetry:** Optional, anonymous, aggregated telemetry has been added to help improve Spice. This feature can be disabled. For details about collected data, see the [telemetry documentation](https://docs.spiceai.org/getting-started/telemetry).
+
+To opt out of telemetry:
+
+1. Using the CLI flag:
+
+   ```bash
+   spice run -- --telemetry-enabled false
+   ```
+
+2. Add configuration to `spicepod.yaml`:
+
+   ```yaml
+   runtime:
+     telemetry:
+       enabled: false
+   ```
+
+**Improved Benchmarking:** A suite of performance benchmarking tests have been added to the project, helping to maintain and improve runtime performance; a top priority for the project.
