When will databricks runtime be released for Scala 2.13?

I see that spark fully supports Scala 2.13. I wonder why is there no databricks runtime with Scala 2.13 yet. Any plans on making this available? It would be super useful.

From my reading, it looks like engineering is going to target the DBR 14 release for Scala 2.13. It looks like azure events hub isn't compatible with 2.13 and that's going to cause some issues as we don't maintain that library at all. It's currently being worked on, but takes a little while.

Thanks for the response. Is there a tentative date for DBR 14 release?

There isn't a date for DBR13. There is usually a DBR version every 6 months, so maybe look at it in late 2023.

I see db runtime 14 is out, but still 2.12, when would databricks plan to support 2.13 or 3 

thank you

Looks like its worth to open a new question. I'd like to know too

Currently, I can use databricks-connect only with scala 2.12. When a runtime and databricks-connect with Scala 2.13 are introduced, that would open the possibility to use Scala 3 with databricks-connect, and that would be amazing.
