Hi everyone! 
We are excited to announce the 2.4.0 release!
It includes some highly requested new features, including:
-
ECSTaskinfrastructure block - shoutout to @madkins for making it so easy to use and applicable to a variety of use cases (Fargate, EC2, Spot instances, and tons of flexible configuration options). Note that we are currently releasing this as an experimental block
- it’s ready for early feedback, but if you plan to use it in production, be aware that this block may change without notice in the next couple of releases,
-
Support for setting custom parameter values directly from the deployment build CLI
-
New CLI for interacting with and setting custom timezone-dependent schedules for your deployments incl. the ability to pause or resume a schedule directly from the CLI
On top of that, this release includes some really cool enhancements and important fixes, a.o.:
- improved query performance and protecting against race conditions when disabling and reenabling schedules,
- fixes to blocks and orchestration metadata context
- several documentation improvements, including the brand new catalog of Prefect Recipes
As always, to upgrade: pip install prefect -U
Thanks to all contributors and everyone reporting issues on GitHub!

Happy Engineering!
