Anthropic chat model configuration in Studio, with a provider-neutral api_key field and only the parameters the Anthropic API supports.

Home page for deployments that use Workspaces, listing all accessible workspaces and projects, with search, role filters, and pinned projects.
Space selector and navbar actions available on the deployment-scoped Workspaces and Cluster administration spaces.
Activity logs split per workspace on instances that use Workspaces, with significantly faster timestamp parsing.
Elasticsearch and Filebeat upgraded.
Optional pip_index_url and pip_extra_index_url settings for the External Dependency Manager, both turned off by default.

Data loaders stopping permanently after a PostgreSQL connection error in the data source service.
Data loader actions such as reset, run now, and rescheduling intermittently not persisting to the source configuration.
API access token missing in the interface for non-administrator cluster roles such as Cluster User and Workspace Admin.
Validation errors on every keystroke when editing genai.sqgpt.settings in the JsonForms mode of the legacy Project Configuration page.
Technical Preview - OpenSearch container image missing from the registry.

Redis is upgraded in the redis-server package, which introduces a format change. The upgrade aborts if the redis-server RPM package cannot create a RDB snapshot at /var/lib/redis/dump.rdb, to prevent loss of data. Make sure a snapshot exists if the upgrade fails.
