Releases

[posit_team 1.14] - 2026-01-25

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').

Upgraded Workbench to version 2026.01.0 “Apple Blossom”. See release notes for more details.
Upgraded Connect to version 2025.12.1. See release notes for more details.
Compute pool resizes are now nondestructive: service URLs remain unchanged and no backup is created during resize operations.
Product cards on the landing page now link to the product service for suspended services, allowing users to click to resume the service.
The product management page now displays the service URL for suspended services.
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.
