Release v0.6.0

[dotsdl]

This release introduces several major features aimed at improving the overall user experience and result retrieval performance:

• Task restart policies, which allow users to automate Task restarts for failure modes they encounter from unreliable compute resources
• compression-at-rest of ProtocolDAGResult objects by compute services, and use of the compact KeyedChain representation for these objects underneath
• user-configurable ProtocolDAGResult on-disk caching in the AlchemiscaleClient, reducing wait times for pulling results when they have been previously requested

This release also includes the following stack requirements:

• gufe > 1.2.0
• pydantic > 2
