Jun 09-11, 2025 — 9.15 Release Notes¶

Artifact Repository — General availability¶

With this release, we are pleased to announce general availability of support for Artifact Repository. Artifact Repository allows you to directly use Python packages from the Python Package Index (PyPI) within Snowpark Python user-defined functions (UDFs) and stored procedures.

For more information, see Artifact Repository overview.

Malicious IP Protection¶

Malicious IP Protection service automatically protects all types of Snowflake accounts by blocking network access and login attempts that originate from known, malicious IP addresses. It is enabled by default and does not require any configuration by administrators.

For more information, see Malicious IP Protection.

Findings Lifecycle Management¶

Snowflake announces the Findings Lifecycle Management (FLM), a Trust Center feature that lets you manage, filter, and proactively respond to violations with auditable controls.

FLM lets you do the following tasks:

• Track and resolve security violations reported by scanners.

• Filter violations based on “Open” or “Resolved” status.

• Focus on active violations that require attention.

• Attach evidence or notes to violations for audit logs.

For more information, see Managing findings.

UNION BY NAME operator¶

This release introduces the UNION BY NAME operator. You can use this operator to combine rows by name instead of by position. When rows are combined with UNION BY NAME, and a column exists in one input but not the other, it is filled with NULL values in the combined result set for each row where it’s missing.

For more information, see Set operators.

Support for streams on unmanaged Apache Iceberg™ tables with row-level deletes¶

You can now create streams on unmanaged Iceberg tables with row-level deletes.

For more information, see Insert-only streams.
