v1.11.0 - 2024-03-21

This release adds the poc utility submodule to help users more easily create a proof-of-concept with multi-table datasets. The poc submodule includes the drop_unknown_references utility function to automatically drop unknown references in a multi-table dataset. Additionally, multiple columns in the metadata can now be updated at once using the update_columns and update_columns_metadata methods. The SDV now also warns users when a synthesizer is loaded that was fitted on a different version of the SDV.
