Short update this week!

TL;DR:

• #Hamilton release highlights: fixes around typing and improving IDE support. Thanks to OS contributors.
• #Burr release highlights: improving test case creation, fixing local tracker + serde kwargs issue.
• Blog on OS libraries that are built for / on top of Hamilton.
• Office Hours & Meet ups for Hamilton & Burr.
• Podcast with Rachel Chalmers at Heavybit

Hamilton Release Highlights:

Hamilton Framework == 1.75.1

Typing Related Fixes:

We pushed a few fixes around types:

1. You can import future annotations and use with Parallelizable & Collect types. Thanks to Jernej Frank for the find.
2. If you're using PyRight, your IDE will now not complain about Parallelizable & Collect types. Thanks to Charles Schwartz for the find and the contribution here!
3. The caching adapter now handles partial functions. Thanks to Jichen Li for the find.

Burr Release Highlights

Burr == 0.29.2

Some improvements this week:

Test case creation

When using the test case command line tool, if you want to create a "good" test case, i.e. things worked and you want to use this as a good example to have. We now provide the input and output state for such situations, versus only the input state.

Fixes SERDE kwargs being wired through to local tracker

The local tracker had a minor bug that didn't pass through serialization options. It now does.

New Blog

Title: OS Libraries Building on top of Hamilton

This post goes over five libraries that were built on top of / for Hamilton. We're excited that people see the traceability, testability, and modularity that Hamilton provides and have built complementary libraries to make use of it. They also cover a broad spectrum of use cases.
