Release Notes – 0.29.0

Sematic's latest release, version 0.29.0, introduces new features, reliability improvements, and bug fixes, focusing on enhancing user control and experience. Key updates include pipeline metrics for assessing run count, success rate, and average runtime, as well as the introduction of Function timeouts to manage resource-intensive processes effectively. The update also simplifies terminology by renaming Non-Inline Functions to Standalone Functions, which operate in dedicated Kubernetes Pods, and allows customization of local storage locations to better support on-premise deployments. Other enhancements include a new Pod lifecycle tab for easier debugging, backward log scrolling, Ray autoscaling for cluster management, and a garbage collection cron job to maintain data integrity. Users can upgrade to the new version seamlessly and are encouraged to engage with the Sematic community for support.
