This page includes new features and improvements to the Airbyte Cloud and Airbyte Open Source platforms.
Destination S3 (v1.0.0) was released! Experience faster sync speeds, checkpointing, and modernization to our Destinations V2 framework, along with many bug fixes around Avro and Parquet file formats.
Databricks destination (v3.1.0) was also released with several new features, including typing & deduping, refreshes, and resumable full refresh! We are actively looking for beta testers. Please reach out to us here with your feedback.
abctl (v0.11.0) now also supports basic authentication. Flags for both non-secure and low resource environments were also added to enable migration paths.Full Refresh | Overwrite + Dedup. This is helpful for those experiencing duplicates during Full Refresh syncs, which can happen when using resumable full refresh.client_id and client_secret to authenticate to the Airbyte API. It also uses the airbyte-api-sdk to improve long-term maintenance.We also released a few notable improvements for our connectors:
Our users and our developers can now contribute new connectors from the builder! This allows you to add a new connector directly to Airbyte's Marketplace.
Our Postgres destination (v2.3.0) also now supports refreshes and resumable full refresh. Note the Airbyte platform v0.63.7 is required to use this connector version.
We now share SBOM for our connectors in our connector registry to enable vulnerability scanning and supply chain attack prevention.
PyAirbyte now supports writing to destination connectors and the latest version contains significant performance improvements for record processing and Snowflake-based cache loads. PyAirbyte has been updated to support Python 3.9 in the latest v0.17.0 release. This allows us to move faster by reducing support footprint, and it allows us to keep up with the latest version of the Python CDK.
