  • A scheduled job that misses its scheduled time (by default, within 30 seconds of its scheduled time) is declared a misfire. When a misfire is detected, it will now show in the task history decorated with a new "misfire" icon. This should make it clearer when misfires are detected and what that means for misfire handling. These events will not appear when the Ignore Misfire option is selected when creating a schedule.

    • Manage Interpreters also lets you disable Python versions as required.
  • Versioned the following components. Existing jobs using the old version of the component will continue to work as expected. New instances of the components will use the new version.

  • Added CSV and ZIP-CSV content types to the Salesforce Output component's Content Type parameter.
  • Improved Add OAuth Entry dialog readability by alphabetizing third-party services.
  • Improved the Salesforce Query component by adding an "Other" option to the Authentication Method parameter. When this option is chosen, use the Connection Options to specify an OAuth access token. Read the component documentation for more details.

    • Added the ability to capture and truncate batch results.

Snowflake
