0.43.0

This release brings limited support for Python 3.11, improves quickstart experience with the fully reworked flow, enhances the user experience while dealing with ZenML docs, offers new extended templates for projects and fixes GCP connector creation issue.

Limited support for Python 3.11

This release adds limited support for Python 3.11.
The following integrations are currently not tested and may behave unexpectedly with Python 3.11:

• gcp
• kubeflow
• tekton

This is because:

• GCP packages that support Python 3.11 are not compatible with KFP 1
• Upgrade to KFP 2 is blocked by the fact that Tekton doesn't have any release compatible with KFP 2 yet (#1697)

Breaking Changes

A minor breaking change in CLI for zenml init:

• previously supported flag --starter
• new flag --template-with-defaults
• behavior remains the same - flag is responsible for usage of default settings in the template
