Version 2.15.0

This release of KFP introduces several notable changes that users should consider prior to upgrading. Comprehensive upgrade and documentation notes will follow shortly. In the interim, please note the following key modifications:

• The default object store deployment has been changed to SeeweedFS, replacing the previous deployment of MinIO. It is important to note that MinIO remains fully supported (as is any S3-compliant object store within KFP); only the default deployment configuration has been updated. Older MinIO manifests are still available here. These legacy manifests may be subject to removal in future releases.
• This release includes a major upgrade to the underlying Gorm backend, necessitating an automated database index migration for users upgrading from versions prior to 2.15.0 (the migration logic can be reviewed here). Given that this migration does not support rollback functionality, it is strongly advised that production databases be backed up before initiating the upgrade process.

For a complete overview of new features and associated changes, please consult the official release notes.
