The response to Prefect 2 has been overwhelming in the best way possible. Thank you to the many community members who tried it out and gave us feedback! Thanks in particular to the students at this week's Prefect Associate Certification Course (PACC) in San Jose for their thoughtful recommendations. This release is a compilation of enhancements and fixes that make for a more resilient, performant, and refined Prefect experience.
