AI Summary

This release introduces new data connectors for MongoDB and PostgreSQL with streaming capabilities, improves array handling, and makes breaking changes to dependency management and data serialization formats.

Key Highlights

  • Added `pw.io.mongodb.read` and `pw.io.postgres.read` connectors with streaming support.
  • Postgres connectors now support serialization of `np.ndarray` and homogeneous tuples/lists.
  • Airbyte connector now supports `dependency_overrides` for pinning transitive dependencies.
  • Added `pw.io.OnChangeCallbackAsync` for Python write operations.

Breaking Changes

  • MongoDB connectors now serialize ndarrays as nested BSON arrays to preserve shape (previously flattened).
  • Dependencies for `pw.io.pyfilesystem.read` are no longer included in default installation.

New Features

  • MongoDB read connector with change streams
  • PostgreSQL read connector via WAL
  • Airbyte dependency override support
  • Async callback for Python write

Full Release Notes

### Added
- `pw.io.mongodb.read` connector, which reads data from a MongoDB collection. The connector first delivers a full snapshot of the collection and then, if the streaming mode is used, subscribes to the change stream to receive incremental updates in real time.
- `pw.io.postgres.read` connector, which reads data from a PostgreSQL table directly by parsing the Write-Ahead Log (WAL).
- `pw.io.postgres.write` and `pw.io.postgres.read` now support serialization/deserialization of `np.ndarray` (`int`/`float` elements), homogeneous `tuple` and `list` (via Postgres `ARRAY`; multidimensional rectangular arrays supported).
- `pw.io.airbyte.read` now accepts a `dependency_overrides` parameter, allowing users to pin specific versions of transitive dependencies (e.g. `airbyte-cdk`) installed into the connector's virtual environment. This unblocks connectors broken by upstream dependency changes without waiting for upstream fixes.

### Changed
- **BREAKING**: `pw.io.mongodb.write` and `pw.io.mongodb.read` now serialize and deserialize `np.ndarray` columns as nested BSON arrays that preserve the array's shape. Previously, all ndarrays were flattened to a single BSON array regardless of dimensionality, making it impossible to reconstruct the original shape on read-back. For 1-D arrays the representation is identical to before (`[1, 2, 3]`); only multi-dimensional arrays are affected.
- **BREAKING**: The dependencies for `pw.io.pyfilesystem.read` are no longer included in the default package installation. To install them, please use `pip install pathway[pyfilesystem]`.
- Asynchronous callback for `pw.io.python.write` is now available as `pw.io.OnChangeCallbackAsync`.
- `pw.run` and `pw.run_all` now have the `event_loop` parameter to support reusing async state across multiple graph runs.

### Fixed
- `pathway web-dashboard` now waits for the metrics database to be created instead of terminating instantly.
