Releases

[posit_team 1.15] - 2026-03-02

Upgraded Connect to version 2026.01.1. See release notes for more details.
Upgraded Workbench to version 2026.01.1. See release notes for more details.
Clicking a product card for a suspended service now shows a waiting page that automatically starts the service and redirects to the product once it is ready.
Restart product services from the management page or SQL using SELECT POSIT_TEAM.APP.RESTART_SERVICE('workbench'). The restart operation stops the service, waits for it to fully suspend, and then starts it again.
Workbench automatically configures Connect as a default publishing destination when Connect is provisioned, so users no longer need to manually add the Connect server URL.
Administrators can now view the current Snowflake OAuth integration status, showing whether the integration is configured, pending upgrade, or not configured.
Added the posit-sdk Python package to all Workbench Python versions.

Trial licenses remain valid after a restart of Posit Team.
Fixed compatibility with Snowflake accounts that have QUOTED_IDENTIFIERS_IGNORE_CASE=true enabled.
Fixed a conflict with the deactivate command used by Python virtual environments.
Administrators can stop a pending service from the manage page to cancel a service that is stuck starting.
Health status now reports OK for suspended and transitional service states, preventing false alerts in Snowflake.
Posit Team can automatically suspend Workbench when its license has expired.
Workbench logging includes rserver-openid, rsession, and rworkspaces.

Posit Team automatically upgrades a product to its latest version. When a product service is stopped, Posit Team applies the upgrade the next time the service is started.
You can configure Posit Team to suspend the Workbench service after one hour of inactivity. This setting is available on the Workbench management page.
Start and stop product services from SQL using Snowflake service functions. For example, start and stop Workbench using SELECT POSIT_TEAM.APP.START_SERVICE('workbench') and SELECT POSIT_TEAM.APP.STOP_SERVICE('workbench').

Log viewer includes a refresh button and auto-scrolls to the latest entries.

Prohibit application names longer than 40 characters, as long names can cause problems when creating Snowflake compute pools.
