New features and improvements in this release

    • Define a catalog in Unity Catalog where your pipeline will persist tables.
    • Read data from Unity Catalog tables.

    See Use Unity Catalog with your Delta Live Tables pipelines.

  • By default, streaming tables require append-only sources. This release introduces the skipChangeCommits flag that can be set on a target streaming table to ignore changes in a source streaming table when the source table requires updates or deletes. See Configure a streaming table to ignore changes in a source streaming table.

  • When you run a Delta Live Tables pipeline from a pipeline notebook, you can now view the event log in the notebook sidebar. See Open or run a Delta Live Tables pipeline from a notebook.
