Modal 1.4.0
We've made significant CLI enhancements so that Modal logs can be more accessible to coding agents: The modal app logs and modal container logs commands now have the ability to fetch historical logs using counting (e.g. --tail 1000) or time-based (e.g., --since 4h, --until 2026-03-15, etc.) configuration.
Modal 1.4.2
- We've added a new modal app rollover CLI command for triggering a redeployment of an App without making any code or configuration changes. A rollover replaces existing containers with fresh ones.
Modal 1.3.5
- We've added a modal changelog CLI for retrieving changelog entries with a flexible query interface (e.g. modal changelog --since=1.2, modal changelog --since=2025-12-01, modal changelog --newer). We expect that this will be a useful way to surface information about new features to coding agents.
Modal 1.3.4
- We're introducing "Directory Snapshots": a new beta feature for persisting specific directories past the lifetime of an individual Sandbox. Using the new methods modal.Sandbox.snapshot_directory() and modal.Sandbox.mount_image(), you can capture the state of a directory and then later include it in a different Sandbox: python notest sb =...
Modal 1.3.3
- We've added a new modal billing report CLI and promoted the modal.billing.workspace_billing_report API to General Availability for all Team and Enterprise plan workspaces. We've added modal.Queue.from_id() and modal.Dict.from_id() methods to support referencing a Queue or Dict by its object id. Modal's async usage warnings are now enabled by default.
Modal 1.4.3
- This release introduces a new "regional routing" concept for Function inputs, which is now in Public Beta. By setting routing_region="..." in the @app.function() or @app.cls() decorators, you can configure the Function to route its inputs through servers in us-west, eu-west, or ap-south instead of us-east.
Modal 1.3.2
- Modal objects now have a .get_dashboard_url() method. This method will return a URL for viewing that object on the Modal dashboard: python fc = f.spawn() print(fc.get_dashboard_url()) # Easy access to logs, etc.
Modal 1.3.1
- We've improved our experimental support for Python 3.14t (free-threaded Python) inside Modal containers. The container environment will now use the Python implementation of the Protobuf runtime rather than the incompatible upb implementation.
