DCM Projects (General availability)
DCM Projects are now generally available and are no longer in Preview . DCM Projects enable a declarative approach to managing Snowflake objects as code. You define the desired target state of your databases, tables, tasks, and other Snowflake objects in definition files, and Snowflake determines and applies the necessary changes to reach that state.
Snowflake Native Apps: Cortex Agents and MCP servers (General availability)
Cortex Agents and MCP servers in Snowflake Native Apps are now generally available. Providers can create the following objects in an app’s setup script: Apps can also use inter-app communication so that one app’s agent calls another app’s agent or MCP server.
Tag automations (Beta)
Tag automations are now in Beta . A tag automation assigns or removes governed tags on the Unity Catalog tables or volumes that match conditions you define, so tags stay accurate as your data and metadata change.
Change data feed on materialized views (Beta)
You can now read a change data feed from a materialized view created in a Lakeflow pipeline or in Databricks SQL, using Databricks Runtime 18 LTS or above. Use this to replicate materialized view changes to destinations outside Databricks, or to keep a history of materialized view changes for auditing and reporting.
ai_search function (Beta)
The ai_search() SQL function retrieves information from one or more AI Search indexes configured as knowledge sources. Given a natural-language query, the function generates optimized search queries, retrieves and deduplicates results across sources, reranks them by relevance, and returns the most relevant documents.
AlloyDB can sync BigQuery tables in preview
BigQuery tables can be synced into AlloyDB once or on a periodic schedule, giving operational analytics low-latency transactional access to data lake data.

Syncs open parallel data channels based on allotted capacity
Airbyte reads the processing capacity allotted to a sync and opens as many parallel data channels as it allows instead of falling back to a single channel.
Connector list flags failed data updates with Action Required
Connectors whose latest data update failed show Action Required for invalid sign-in details or Failing for other errors, while synced data stays searchable.
Source editor and Destination editor workspace roles
Two new workspace roles, Source editor and Destination editor, limit editing to sources or destinations respectively. Both are on Pro and Enterprise Flex plans.
Context Store stays on while agents use a connector
A connector's Context Store stays on as long as agents use the connector for anything, not only searching.
Airbyte Self-Managed 2.2 released, one-way database upgrade
Airbyte 2.2 migrations drop tables that 2.1.x depends on, so the upgrade is one-way and rolling back to 2.1.x is not supported. Take a database backup before upgrading.
Airbyte 2.2 community deployments drop HTTP Basic API credentials
Community deployments no longer accept HTTP Basic credentials on the API. Callers must switch to an access token from /api/v1/applications/token.
Airbyte 2.2 Helm charts accept namespaceOverride
Both the main chart and the data plane chart accept a top-level namespaceOverride value that controls the namespace written onto chart resources.
Airbyte 2.2 sizes replication orchestrator separately from jobs
The server reads global.workloads.resources.replication settings for the replication orchestrator, and global.jobs.resources is deprecated in favor of global.workloads.resources.mainContainer.
