Patch Note 2021-03-04

This is going to be one hecking long patch note...

New features

• Pipelines can now (finally!) reuse nodes from other pipelines!
• A brand new "Reuse Nodes..." button has appeared for this purpose in the Create Pipeline view.
• For API users, replace a node definition with {"type": "mimic", "source": "other-node-id"}.
• Reused nodes are shown in italic.
• It doesn't make much sense to reuse an errored node, but you can do it nevertheless, because who are we to limit your creative expression?
• Stop expressions are now applicable to single executions as well as for tasks!
• The feature is available starting with agent version 0.36.0; agents are upgraded when execution nodes start.
• Step names and queue datetimes are now available as execution configuration data.
• Deployment endpoint health information is now available (when the deployment target has been configured accordingly).

User interface embetterments

• Notification settings were moved from the dashboard into the project settings view.
• The misleading dropdown for metadata chart types is no longer a misleading dropdown when there's only one valid option.
• Big long very huge input lists in the Copy Execution view are now hidden by default.
• Most messages created by the frontend no longer cause a persistent notification bell. Finally.
• You can now sort executions by step name.

Bugfixes

• The Organization Restrict Environments dropdown was fixed to actually work. Oops!
• Many list API endpoints were made faster. What's this "N+1 queries" thing SQL folks talk about?
• The organization deployment dashboard had some sharp corners sanded off:
• The endpoint dashboard view now properly shows deployment target names. We heard complaints that Real Human Beings actually can't recall UUIDs that well. How peculiar...
• Disabled and deleted deployments no longer show up in the endpoint dashboard.
• Endpoint URLs are now properly formatted.
• Project stores and notebook instances now also have their ownership transferred when projects are transferred.
• Histograms didn't always show up in the deployment monitor. They do now.
• Duplicate node names in pipelines now yield a real error message instead of an internal error.
• Organization default environments now trickle correctly down to projects, no longer just at creation time.
