Snowflake Data Clean Rooms updates
Clean room UI users: New updates are applied to the UI automatically when a user starts a new session after a new update is deployed. To ensure new updates are applied, make sure to log out and log back into the UI. Clean room API users: API updates are applied either manually or automatically to an account. Learn how to manage updates for Data Clean Rooms.
Adaptive refresh mode for dynamic tables (General availability)
ADAPTIVE refresh mode for dynamic tables is now generally available. ADAPTIVE refresh uses incremental refresh by default but automatically reinitializes the dynamic table when internal heuristics detect that the volume of upstream changes makes an incremental refresh significantly more expensive than a full refresh.

Notebook Project Objects are now Code Bundles
Notebook Project Objects have been renamed to Code Bundles . The object, its behavior, and its access model are unchanged: only the name and the corresponding SQL, CLI, and Snowsight labels are updated. Existing objects are recognized as Code Bundles automatically, with no migration required.
