Zenml

This is a minor release that fixes a couple of minor issues and improves the
quickstart example.

Breaking Changes

Disable Implicit Auth Methods for Service Connectors by Default

The implicit authentication methods supported by cloud Service Connectors method
may constitute a security risk, because they can give users access to the same
cloud resources and services that the ZenML Server itself is allowed to access.

For this reason, the default behavior of ZenML Service Connectors has been
changed to disable implicit authentication methods by default. If you try to
configure any of the AWS, GCP or Azure Service Connectors using the implicit
authentication method, you will now receive an error message.

To enable implicit authentication methods, you have to set the
`ZENML_ENABLE_IMPLICIT_AUTH_METHODS` environment variable or the ZenML helm
chart `enableImplicitAuthMethods` configuration option to `true`.

What's Changed
* Disable implicit auth methods for service connectors by default by stefannica in https://github.com/zenml-io/zenml/pull/1704
* New quickstart by strickvl in https://github.com/zenml-io/zenml/pull/1692
* Set `MLflow` configuration as environment variables before deployment subprocess by safoinme in https://github.com/zenml-io/zenml/pull/1705
* Fix Migration Guide Links by fa9r in https://github.com/zenml-io/zenml/pull/1706


**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/zenml-io/zenml/compare/0.42.0...0.42.1

This release brings major user experience improvements to how ZenML logs are managed and displayed, removes Python 3.7 support, and fixes the Python 3.10 PyYAML issues caused by the Cython 3.0 release.

Improved Logging UX

The log messages written by ZenML when running pipelines or executing ZenML CLI commands are now more concise and easier to digest and the log message colors were adjusted to be more intuitive. Additionally, all log messages, including custom prints to stdout, now show up as step logs in the dashboard.

Breaking Changes

Python 3.7 Support Dropped
Python 3.7 reached its end of life on on June 27th, 2023. Since then, several MLOps tools have stopped supporting Python 3.7. To prevent dependency issues with our integrations and other open-source packages, ZenML will also no longer support Python 3.7 starting from this release.

Dependency and Integration Version Updates
ZenML now requires PyYAML 6 since older versions are broken under Python 3.10. Subsequently, the following integrations now require a higher package version:
- Kubeflow now requires `kfp==1.8.22`
- Tekton now requires `kfk-tekton==1.7.1`
- Evidently now requires `evidently==0.2.7` or `evidently==0.2.8`

**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/zenml-io/zenml/compare/0.41.0...0.42.0

ZenML release 0.41.0 comes with a second round of updates to the pipeline and step interface with major changes in how step outputs are defined, how information about previous runs can be fetched programmatically, and how information about the current run can be obtained.

See [this docs page](https://docs.zenml.io/user-guide/advanced-guide/migrate-your-old-pipelines-and-steps) for an overview of all pipeline interface changes introduced since release 0.40.0 and for more information on how to migrate your existing ZenML pipelines to the latest syntax.

Fetching Runs Programmatically (1635)
The entire syntax of fetching previous runs programmatically was majorly redesigned. While the overall user flow is still almost identical, the new approach does not contain pipeline-versioning-related inconsistencies, has a more intuitive syntax, and is also easier for users to learn since the new syntax uses the ZenML Client and response models natively instead of requiring the `zenml.post_execution` util functions and corresponding `...View` wrapper classes.

Accessing Current Run Information (1648)
How to fetch information about the current pipeline run from within the run has been majorly redesigned:
- Instead of being an argument of the step function, the `StepContext` is now a singleton that can be accessed via the new `zenml.get_step_context()` function.
- The `StepContext` is now decoupled from the `StepEnvironment` and the `StepEnvironment` is deprecated.
- The `StepContext` now contains the full `PipelineRunResponseModel` and `StepRunResponseModel` so all information about the run is accessible, not just the name / id / params.

Defining Step Outputs (1653)
Instead of using the `zenml.steps.Output` class to annotate steps with multiple outputs, ZenML can now handle `Tuple` annotations natively and output names can now be assigned to any step output using `typing_extensions.Annotated`.

This is a minor ZenML release that introduces a few new features around Service Connectors and Dashboard improvements:

* Service Connectors can now also be managed through the ZenML Dashboard

* the [Azure Service Connector](https://docs.zenml.io/platform-guide/set-up-your-mlops-platform/connect-zenml-to-infrastructure/azure-service-connector) is now available in addition to the AWS and GCP ones. It can be used to connect ZenML and Stack Components to Azure cloud infrastructure resources like Azure Blob Storage, Azure Container Registry and Azure Kubernetes Service.

* adds `zenml secret export` CLI command to export secrets from the ZenML Secret Store to a local file
* adds the ability to create/update ZenML secrets from JSON/YAML files or command line arguments (courtesy of bhatt-priyadutt)

In addition to that, this release also contains a couple of bug fixes and improvements, including:

* better documentation and fixes for the ZenML [Vertex AI Orchestrator](https://docs.zenml.io/user-guide/component-guide/orchestrators/vertex) and [Vertex AI Step Operator](https://docs.zenml.io/user-guide/component-guide/step-operators/vertex)
