The vendors' own release notes remain their publishers'. --- - **fixed** — Fixed an issue where running a step with a step operator in a dynamic pipeline could fail unless that step was explicitly listed in pipeline.depends_on - **changed** — ZenML now falls back to the orchestrator image when steps use step operators in dynamic pipelines, matching the behavior used for isolated steps without step operators - **changed** — Improved database query performance by adjusting how related data is loaded for common pipeline run and step run queries - **fixed** — Fixed a deadlock that could happen during logging context shutdown when using fsspec-based artifact log stores with debug logs enabled - **changed** — ZenML now avoids writing back into the log store during shutdown to improve reliability for pipeline and step log collection ###### Dynamic pipelines with step operators Dynamic pipeline execution is more reliable when steps use step operators.
Fixed - Fixed an issue where running a step with a step operator in a dynamic pipeline could fail unless that step was explicitly listed in `pipeline.depends_on`. - ZenML now falls back to the orchestrator image in this case, matching the behavior already used for isolated steps without step operators. [PR #4960](https://github.com/zenml-io/zenml/pull/4960)
###### Faster pipeline and step run queries Common pipeline run and step run views should now load more efficiently, especially on larger deployments. - Improved database query performance by adjusting how related data is loaded for common pipeline run and step run queries. - This helps avoid expensive query plans in MySQL for paginated run listings, making these queries more scalable. [PR #4965](https://github.com/zenml-io/zenml/pull/4965) ###### Logging stability Logging shutdown is now safer when using artifact-backed log stores.
Fixed - Fixed a deadlock that could happen during logging context shutdown when using `fsspec`-based artifact log stores with debug logs enabled. - ZenML now avoids writing back into the log store during shutdown, improving reliability for pipeline and step log collection. [PR #4964](https://github.com/zenml-io/zenml/pull/4964)
