Dagster 1.8: Call Me Maybe

The latest release of Dagster, version 1.8, introduces several significant improvements to its ecosystem and integration capabilities, simplifying asset management and enhancing automation features. The new stable support for external assets allows users to specify non-materializable assets that are part of the lineage graph, replacing an experimental API. Additionally, the merge function in Definitions objects simplifies structuring large Dagster projects by allowing users to combine sub-domain definitions into a cohesive whole. Other notable improvements include deduplication in AssetDefinitions, wiping materializations for individual asset partitions, and enhancements to declarative automation, jobless automation, and timeline page grouping. These changes aim to improve data quality, reliability, and management while making it easier to manage complex projects and automate workflows.
