Updates

  • The Script Run History pane and Workflow Execution pane now include a “Show More” button to load older run/execution history.
  • The default Docker images have been updated to datascience-python v8.4 (for platform container scripts and Python scripts) and civis-jupyter-python3 v4.4 (for platform Python notebooks). These updated images include the Civis API Python client v2.8.0 (changelog notes). Please note that the Debian package software-properties-common is no longer available in these images, as it’s been removed from the latest base Python images being used. For the full list of updates in the Docker images, please see this changelog entry. If your workflows involve creating platform container scripts programmatically that use the datascience-python Docker image, it is advisable to either pin the Docker image tag for stability (e.g.,“8.4”, the latest tag as of February 2026), or update your setup if any image updates may impact your pipelines. In general, while the image tag “latest” (or not specifying an image tag, which would default to “latest”) is useful for prototyping, it’s strongly recommended to use an actual release tag in production work.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed bug causing intermittent reloads for some users on the Query page.
  • Improved error messages for Service deployment failures.
