Releasesby GlyphText attribution and agent-assisted editing
Documents and project descriptions are critical context for your teams and agents. You can now edit text with Linear Agent, and use Loops to keep docs and project descriptions up-to-date. Author name indicators let you check if text was written by a colleague or added by a loop.

SQL environment variable and private Git package support for dbt Projects on Snowflake
Environment variable support for dbt Projects on Snowflake is now generally available. Manage per-developer schemas, dynamic runtime values, secrets, and multiple environments in a single, Git-versioned env.yml file that Snowflake resolves before each run.
SERVICE_AGENT user type (General availability)
With this release, the SERVICE_AGENT user type is generally available. Use this user type for automated AI agents that interact with Snowflake using their own identity and privileges.
SHOW CORTEX BASE MODELS command (General availability)
With this release, we are pleased to announce the general availability of the SHOW CORTEX BASE MODELS command. Use this command to list the Cortex Base Models available in your account, along with each model’s lifecycle status, regional availability, legacy date, and end-of-life date.
C++ SDK for the Zerobus Ingest connector is now available in Beta
A C++ SDK for the Zerobus Ingest connector in Lakeflow Connect is now available in Beta. The SDK provides a high-throughput gRPC client for ingesting records directly into Unity Catalog Delta tables, with support for JSON and Protocol Buffers. See Use Zerobus Ingest .
Genie Code scheduled tasks are in Beta
You can now schedule Genie Code to run a prompt on a recurring schedule. Each run executes your prompt as a full Genie Code session and produces a continuable Genie chat with the results, so you can turn recurring analysis into an unattended background task. Create a scheduled task by asking Genie Code in chat or by filling in the create form manually.
Databricks Runtime 19 and Databricks Runtime 19 for Machine Learning are now generally available
Databricks Runtime 19 and Databricks Runtime 19 for Machine Learning are now generally available (GA), powered by Apache Spark 4.2.0. For release notes, see Databricks Runtime 19 and Databricks Runtime 19 for Machine Learning .

Introducing Loops
Loops are a new way for Linear Agent to take on recurring work for your team. Describe the job in plain language and then choose whether it should run on a schedule or in response to an event. From there, Loops use context from your workspace and connected tools to decide on the next best action.
Coding sessions on mobile
Your coding session doesn’t have to stop when you leave your desk. Use the Linear mobile app to review code changes, comment on specific lines, and iterate with Linear Agent. Open any diff and switch to the Changes tab to inspect the code.
Team initiatives
Initiatives are Linear's way to manage product strategy and high-level planning across projects. Strategy may start at the company level, but teams carry it forward. You can now assign a team to lead an initiative, making it clear who is responsible for driving the work and how it contributes to the broader direction.
Initiative properties
Initiatives define your company's high-level goals and organize the projects that contribute to them. To help you manage initiatives as your roadmap grows, we've added a new set of focused initiative properties: Proposed and canceled statuses make it clear when an initiative is under consideration or has been intentionally set aside Priority communicates...
Coding sessions: environments, browser use, and updated pricing
Linear Agent can now set up, run, and test your code before returning its work. That means fewer handoffs and changes that are further along when they come back to you. We’re also introducing lower, more transparent pricing, making AI credit usage easier to understand and control.
Agent assisted project updates
Project and initiative updates keep teams aligned, but writing them means pulling out recent changes from issues, documents, and discussions. Instead of finding that context manually, click Write with Agent to let Linear do it for you.
Priority inbox
An active workspace can create a significant amount of notifications each day, and until now your inbox treated them all the same. The new Priority tab separates what needs your attention from what can wait, so something like a review blocking a release never gets buried.
Coding sessions in Linear
Earlier this year, we launched Linear Agent, giving teams a new way to plan and coordinate their issues and projects. Since then, we've added Code Intelligence to extend that understanding to the codebase, and MCP support to bring all of your context together. Today we're closing the loop: Linear Agent can now write code using Claude Code and Codex.
