prefect

A lot of documentation updates, specifically around deployments, and ACI push work pools.

This releases introduces the ability to override queue settings for individual flow runs and enables task runs to return Paused states. We've bolstered security by preventing accidental credential logging and fixed some UI issues related to work queues and flow run logs. Some new experimental features include a concurrency context manager and a rate_limit function.

See the release notes for more details.

🚀 This release makes work pools and workers generally available. There are now work pools for every major infrastructure type. Work pools expose rich configuration of their infrastructure. Every work pool type has a base configuration with sensible defaults such that you can begin executing work with just a single command. The infrastructure configuration is fully customizable from the Prefect UI. Push work pools remain a beta feature.

📈 The release also adds flow summary graphs and stats to the flow page. Each flow page now includes graphs of it's recent flow runs, task runs, and (in prefect Cloud) related events, as well as summary statistics.

See the release notes for more details.

This release includes a number of exciting new features and improvements, including:

• The Prefect Dashboard is now generally available.
• Deploy deployments prefixed by flow name during prefect deploy.
• Use environment variables in deployment steps.
• Use prefect deploy with multiple deployments with the same name.

Yesterday's 2.10.19 release introduced bugs that prevented UI form inputs from being rendered and parsed correctly. This release resolves those issues. It also drops Python 3.7 support. Prefect now requires Python 3.8 or later.

See the release notes for details.

This release introduces a new Prefect dashboard as an experimental feature! The dashboard provides an overview of all Prefect activity, surfaces the urgent information, and provides the context to understand that information. Additionally, we've added support for service-specific credentials to the git_clone deployment step.

See the release notes for more details.

This release introduces substantial enhancements to Docker image support during flow deployment. We've made the process of building, pushing, and pulling Docker images simpler, with our CLI now providing automatic detection and guidance for Docker-enabled work pools.

In addition, we're introducing event-based triggers for Prefect Cloud deployments and several improvements such as the ability to save updated deployment configurations and an install-policy option at worker start.

This release combines the previously separate flows and deployments UI pages into a single, holistic page that brings together information about flows and deployments, as well as recent and upcoming runs. You can now see the state of the most recent flow run for each flow and deployment, giving you a snapshot of the status of your workspace. In addition, you can now filter deployments by whether their schedule is active and the work pool to which flow runs are submitted. This release also introduces the new on_crashed hook for flows, allowing you to add client-side hooks that will be called when your flow crashes. This is useful for cases where you want to execute code without involving the Prefect API, and for custom handling on CRASHED terminal states. This callable hook will receive three arguments: flow, flow_run, and state.

This release focuses on enhancing the deployment experience and streamlining project setup. You can now deploy multiple flows simultaneously using the improved deployment.yaml file. This release also features better run restart behavior, ensuring smooth transitions in various situations. Additional improvements include support for recursive flow calls, concurrent runs of the same flow, and several UI and CLI refinements. We've also enriched our documentation with an informative tutorial on developing custom workers. This release incorporates a critical fix for logs, addressing occasional delays in sending them to the API.
