+# 0.55.0
+
+This release comes with a range of new features, bug fixes and documentation updates. The most notable changes are the ability to do lazy loading of Artifact Version, Artifact Version Metadata, and Model Version Metadata inside the pipeline code, and the ability to link Artifacts to Model Versions implicitly via the `save_artifact` function.
+
+Additionally, we've updated the documentation to include a new starter guide on how to manage artifacts, and a new production guide that walks you through how to configure your pipelines to run in production.
