Let’s celebrate this 0.100.0 release in a BIG way. 

Install the 100th lakeFS v0.100.0 and receive a PS5, 100 free days on lakeFS Cloud, bragging rights and of course, a few lakeFS favorites (stickers, our axolotl mascot , socks and more surprises) 😉

So what’s new in this version?

In this latest release we deepen our linking and shared metadata between Airflow DAG runs and the lakeFS commits that they create for a complete snapshotting and reproducibility experience. The new Airflow operators add formatted metadata to your commits. lakeFS uses this metadata to link to Airflow.

Other highlights from version 0.100.0:

Sample repositories: lakeFS now starts baked in with some sample data. Users have the ability to explore and understand lakeFS’ core features, like creating a branch, reading and writing files, committing and merging quickly, without the need to configure their infrastructure.

In addition, upgrading to this 0.100.0 version will also include other key releases, including:

• Rich diff capabilities for Delta Lake tables – instead of showing the files that changed, see the actual modifications that were made, including update predicates, schema changes, DDL and more.
• Support for generating pre-signed URLs – allowing lakeFS users to interact directly with the object store without the actual data going through the lakeFS server while still enjoying lakeFS strong authentication and authorization capabilities.
• Native Spark integration for Azure Blob Storage – extend the deep integration between lakeFS and Spark to also work on top of Azure Blob Storage and Azure Data Lake Storage
• Huge improvements to lakeFS’ embedded hooks – including full featured Lua scripting, which require no configuration or external services to manage, as well as automate, notifications when hooks fail
• Many performance and scalability improvements – optimizing the diff, commit and merge flows as well as optimized caching to further improved the already great lakeFS runtime performance
