Modal 1.4.1
- We're introducing a concept of "readiness probes" for modal.Sandbox. This feature lets you configure a readiness check on a TCP port (modal.Probe.with_tcp()) or by executing a process (modal.Probe.with_exec()).
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 1.4.3
- 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 1.3.5
- 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 1.5.0
This is a major release that includes several new features (named Images, version-pinned Function lookups, Sandbox domain allowlists), a new modal skills CLI, and a small number of breaking changes. We're introducing a "named Image" concept, akin to a Modal-native Image registry.
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 1.5.1
This release includes several major new features, including the debut of a new serverless compute primitive for low-latency HTTP applications (@app.server()) and a new CLI for deploying production-ready LLM inference endpoints with minimal configuration (modal endpoint).
