VARIANT data type on Delta Direct tables (General availability)
With this release, Snowflake supports the VARIANT data type on Iceberg tables created from Delta table files in object storage (Delta Direct). When your Delta tables include variant columns, Snowflake maps them to the Snowflake VARIANT data type. You can query semi-structured data using VARIANT functions and dot or bracket notation.
Metadata-based sensitive data classification recommendations (Public Preview)
Snowflake is rolling out metadata-based sensitive data classification recommendations in Snowsight to help you identify databases that are likely to contain sensitive data and enable classification with one click.
Lakeflow Connect row filtering is now generally available

Releases: Sidebar navigation and per-asset download counts
You can now scan and navigate release pages more easily with a dedicated sidebar table of contents. We also updated release metadata placement for a more consistent layout so it’s easier to move between entries on long pages. Users with write access can also now see download counts per release asset directly in the Releases UI.
Restrict issue creation to collaborators only
Repository admins can now restrict issue creation to collaborators with write access. This gives you more control over who can open issues and helps reduce unwanted issue creation, while keeping issue workflows available to the people who actively maintain and contribute to the project.
Restrict who can dismiss reviews in rulesets
You can now restrict who can dismiss pull request reviews directly in GitHub repository rulesets. This capability is generally available and gives you precise control over who can clear an approval before changes merge. The setting lives alongside the other review options in the Require a pull request before merging rule.
Cost center limit increased to 1,000 per enterprise
You can now create up to 1,000 cost centers per enterprise, up from 500. Enterprises that model hundreds or thousands of business units, departments, or product groups can now represent that full structure in GitHub, instead of exporting usage data into a homegrown system to fill the gap.
New pull requests dashboard is now generally available
The refreshed pull requests dashboard is now generally available at github.com/pulls . It gives you a single home to track, prioritize, and act on the pull requests that need your attention, whether you’re an individual contributor or a manager working across many teams and projects. This experience was previously in public preview.
Saved views for repository issues – Public Preview and adjustable row heights in projects
Saved views for repository issues Repository Issues pages now support saved views, making it easier for teams to create and share filtered views of their issues. With saved views, anyone with triage access or above can create shared views like “Unassigned bugs”, “Needs triage”, or “Customer-reported issues”.
Cost centers now support enterprise teams
Cost attribution across your enterprise can now follow your team structure. You can add enterprise teams as resources in a cost center, and all usage incurred by team members is attributed to that cost center.
Per-user states for multi-user budgets in the REST API
You can now retrieve every user’s progress against a multi-user budget from a single REST API endpoint. This makes it much faster to find who is close to their limit across a large enterprise. Previously, you had to make one API call per user to check per-user consumption, and you couldn’t filter by how much of the budget someone had used.
