- Stabilized the Components framework and dg CLI (now Release Candidate), enabling YAML or lightweight Python definitions, custom component wrapping, and extensive tooling.
- Added core orchestration features: retry from asset failure, checks from ops, per‑asset hooks, GA BackfillPolicy with thread‑pool, default concurrency blocking, and a new FreshnessPolicy API replacing the legacy one.
- GA and beta integrations (Fivetran, Airflow, dbt Cloud, Iceberg) plus UI enhancements; breaking change where duplicate AssetSpecs now error and FreshnessPolicy renamed to LegacyFreshnessPolicy; several deprecations and bugfixes.
