Release Notes – 0.27.0

Sematic's latest release, version 0.27.0, introduces a range of new features and improvements aimed at enhancing user experience and productivity, following extensive user feedback from Q1 2023. Key updates include support for Python 3.10, integration with Ray for distributed computing, and a run caching feature that boosts productivity by allowing users to reuse outputs from unchanged inputs, saving both time and costs. Additionally, Sematic now supports an Image type for better visualization of function outputs on the dashboard and a Run Search functionality for efficiently locating specific runs by various criteria. The update also includes faster Bazel builds for dependency management, simplified run URLs for easier programmatic construction, and enhanced logging capabilities by piping container logs to stdout for external tool access. Furthermore, improvements to the scalability of the Sematic API server have been made by isolating the Web Socket server, emphasizing the platform's commitment to providing a robust and scalable solution for data processing and model training.
