Apache Arrow in their documentation list that each release has two versions, a Library Version and a Format Version: https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Versioning.html

It appears that over the last year there have been 4 Library Versions, but it's hard to tell if the format version has changed in any of these Library Versions. Is there a way to tell what the Format Version is for a given Library Version?

Currently, I do not see a way to determine the format version programmatically. This seems like a good idea. I have opened ARROW-12594.

The latest format version is also listed on the specification page.

Since the latest version is 1.0.0 you can safely assume that all Arrow versions >= 1.0.0 and <= 6.0.0 are compiled against format version 1.0.0
