[Learn more](#breaking-changes) ## Improvements ### AI - Anthropic chat model configuration in Studio, with a provider-neutral `api_key` field and only the parameters the Anthropic API supports. ### Platform - 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. ## Bug Fixes - 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. ## Breaking Changes - 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. ## Project Neo Technical Preview | [Learn more](../../../technical/neo/index.md#neo) ### Improvements - AWS Bedrock AgentCore as an alternative code interpreter backend, selected per project, with OpenAI Containers remaining the default. - Custom AgentCore interpreters, which can grant the sandbox network egress, restricted to server-role administrators. - Files written by a code execution captured and delivered as downloadable artifacts on both backends. - Code interpreter progress reported while the conversation streams. - Code interpreter sandboxes released as soon as the turn that used them ends, including cancelled turns. - Running a scheduled task on demand and reviewing its recent runs from within a conversation. - Chat API support for inline text actions on a passage quoted from an earlier reply. - Single-shot chat turns that run without tools or persona instructions. - Streaming overhead on long answers reduced from quadratic to linear. - Reasoning summaries streaming back to the client on Anthropic models. - Operational metrics for queue depth and wait time, load shedding, run duration, and capacity, exported through optional Prometheus and OpenTelemetry endpoints. - Metric, span, and attribute names aligned with OpenTelemetry semantic conventions, with latency reported in seconds. ### Bug Fixes - Conversations with reasoning turned on failing part-way through a tool-using answer on the latest Claude models. - An interrupted and resumed human-in-the-loop tool call splitting into a stale pending block and a completed one. - Regenerating a reply mixing up the tool calls of the alternatives. - Resuming an interrupted reply that has alternatives failing part-way through streaming. - Spurious database error traces from background maintenance jobs on every scheduled run. - Background maintenance jobs failing silently on database errors, and occasionally skipping a scheduled run. ## Installation and Upgrade For new installations, find step-by-step instructions on the [Install and Manage Squirro with Ansible](../../install/ansible/index.md#ansible) page (recommended) and [Installing Squirro on Linux](../../install/linux.md#install-linux) pages.
