Velocity6.3

Unified metadata platform for data discovery and governance

OpenMetadata 2.0.0 ships Dynamic Sampling by default and a full Data Quality overhaul.

data-catalogdata-qualitymetadataobservabilitymcpopen-source
◆Current state
OpenMetadata has shipped its 2.0.0 GA alongside continued 1.13.x maintenance. The headline change in 2.0.0 is defaulting to Dynamic Sampling in the Profiler — 100% table scans are out, which meaningfully reduces compute cost on large tables. Cardinality metrics are no longer collected by default. MCP is now a first-class service entity with OAuth, SAML SSO, and usage analytics. The 1.13.x branch remains active for teams not yet migrating.
◆Where it's heading
OpenMetadata 2.0.0 shifts the platform toward cost-aware data quality by default — this is a philosophical change, not just a feature: the assumption is no longer that you scan everything. MCP as a first-class service category signals intent to be the metadata and observability layer for AI pipelines, not just traditional BI/warehouse workflows.
◆Prediction
Post-2.0.0 development will focus on the MCP service layer and AI pipeline observability. Expect deeper integration between the Profiler's Dynamic Sampling and cost estimation, and broader MCP adapter coverage. The 1.13.x branch will likely enter long-term-support status within one or two more maintenance releases.

    OpenMetadata 1.13.5: Connector and Security Maintenance

    1.13.5 is a focused maintenance release: connector reliability (REST, MLflow, DB2, Glue, KafkaConnect), search and governance correctness, and a security dependency cleanup including a Python 3.10 floor for ingestion packages — steady maintenance for teams still on the 1.13 branch.

    OpenMetadata 2.0.1: Post-GA Maintenance

    2.0.1 is the first maintenance release after the 2.0.0 GA: connector reliability, UI polish in Context Center and Explore, MCP hardening, and security dependency cleanup — the expected post-GA stabilization pass.

    2.0.0-release

    ⚡ SPARK

    2.0.0 GA ships Dynamic Sampling as the Profiler default and removes cardinality distribution from automatic collection — two changes that cut compute cost on large tables by design. Combined with MCP as a first-class service entity, this is a meaningful redirection of what the platform optimizes for.

    OpenMetadata 1.13.4: Connector and Security Maintenance

    1.13.4 is a maintenance release focused on connector reliability, search and lineage correctness, and security patches — parallel stable-branch maintenance running alongside the 2.0.0 RC work.

    OpenMetadata 2.0.0 RC2 (Dev/Test Only)

    2.0.0-rc2 is a pre-production release candidate not intended for use in production environments — a development iteration in the run-up to the GA that followed.

    OpenMetadata 1.13.3: Governance and Connector Fixes

    1.13.3 is a focused maintenance patch: data contract and governance workflow fixes, alert delivery fixes, and a Snowflake foreign-key reflection fix — routine stable-branch maintenance.
