Highlights
- Python streaming users that use 2.47.0 and newer versions of Beam should update to version 2.53.0, which fixes a known issue: (#27330).
I/Os
- TextIO now supports skipping multiple header lines (Java) (#17990).

- Add support for generating text embeddings in MLTransform for Vertex AI and Hugging Face Hub models.(#29564)

New Features / Improvements
- The Python SDK now type checks
collections.abc.Collectionstypes properly. Some type hints that were erroneously allowed by the SDK may now fail. (#29272) - Running multi-language pipelines locally no longer requires Docker.
Instead, the same (generally auto-started) subprocess used to perform the

Deprecations
- Euphoria DSL is deprecated and will be removed in a future release (not before 2.56.0) (#29451)
Bugfixes
- (Python) Fixed sporadic crashes in streaming pipelines that affected some users of 2.47.0 and newer SDKs (#27330).
