K Kedro K
Major features and improvements:
• New HTTP Server API layer built on KedroServiceSession to execute pipelines from HTTP requests, with endpoints for:
- /run — run pipelines with optional runtime parameters
- /health — check the server’s health status
- /snapshot — retrieve the current project snapshot
• New CLI command kedro server start to launch the server
• Selective pipeline loading: when --pipelines is specified, only the requested pipeline modules are imported, speeding up startup
• Refreshed the Amazon EMR Serverless, AWS Step Functions, and AWS Batch deployment guides with strategy-first layouts, namespace-based grouping, container image guidance, and end-to-end walkthroughs
• And more! Read the release notes for a full list of changes!

• Added `send_individually`option to`APIDataset`to send list items as individual requests instead of batched arrays.
• Hardened experimental `pytorch.PyTorchDataset`:`weights_only=True`is now enforced by default on load to block arbitrary code execution from untrusted`.pt`files, user-supplied`load_args`and`save_args`are now correctly passed to`torch.load`and`torch.save`(previously silently dropped), and the misleading “pickle-safe” docstring was corrected.
• Fixed`ibis.FileDataset`to support remote filepaths (e.g.s3://,abfss://,hf://) and added an`fs_args`argument to authenticate the filesystem used for version discovery.
