1 - Release policies and processes

Release process for W&B Server

This page gives details about W&B Server releases and W&B’s release policies. This page relates to W&B Dedicated Cloud and Self-Managed deployments. To learn more about an individual W&B Server release, refer to W&B release notes.

W&B fully manages W&B Multi-tenant Cloud and the details in this page do not apply.

Release support and end of life policy

W&B supports a major W&B Server release for 6 months from its initial release date.

  • Dedicated Cloud instances are automatically updated to maintain support.

  • Customers with Self-managed instances are responsible for upgrading in time to maintain support. Avoid staying on an unsupported version.

Release types and frequencies

  • Major releases are produced monthly, and may include new features, enhancements, performance improvements, medium and low severity bug fixes, and deprecations. An example of a major release is 0.68.0.
  • Patch releases within a major version are produced as needed, and include critical and high severity bug fixes. An example of a patch release is 0.67.1.

Release rollout

  1. After testing and validation are complete, a release is first rolled out to all Dedicated Cloud instances to keep them fully updated.
  2. After additional observation, the release is published, and Self-managed deployments can upgrade to it on their own schedule, and are responsible for upgrading in time to comply with the Release support and End of Life (EOL) policy. Learn more about upgrading W&B Server.

Downtime during upgrades

  • When a Dedicated Cloud instance is upgraded, downtime is generally not expected, but may occur in certain situations:
    • If a new feature or enhancement requires changes to the underlying infrastructure, such as compute, storage or network.
    • To roll out a critical infrastructure change such as a security fix.
    • If the instance’s current version has reached its End of Life (EOL) and is upgraded by W&B to maintain support.
  • For Self-managed deployments, the customer is responsible for implementing a rolling update process that meets their service level objectives (SLOs), such as by running W&B Server on Kubernetes.

Feature availability

After installing or upgrading, certain features may not be immediately available.

Enterprise features

An Enterprise license includes support for important security capabilities and other enterprise-friendly functionality. Some advanced features require an Enterprise license.

  • Dedicated Cloud includes an Enterprise license and no action is required.
  • On Self-managed deployments, features that require an Enterprise license are not available until it is set. To learn more or obtain an Enterprise license, refer to Obtain your W&B Server license.

Private preview and opt-in features

Most features are available immediately after installing or upgrading W&B Server. The W&B team must enable certain features before you can use them in your instance.

  • Private preview: W&B invites design partners and early adopters to test these features and provide feedback. Private preview features are not recommended for production environments.

    The W&B team must enable a private preview feature for your instance before you can use it. Public documentation is not available; instructions are provided directly. Interfaces and APIs may change, and the feature may not be fully implemented.

  • Public preview: Contact W&B to opt in to a public preview to try it out before it is generally available.

    The W&B team must enable a public preview feature before you can use it in your instance. Documentation may not be complete, interfaces and APIs may change, and the feature may not be fully implemented.

2 - 0.67.0

March 28, 2025

Features

  • In Reports, you can now give a run a custom display name per panel grid. This allows you to replace the run’s (often long and opaque) training-time name with one that is more meaningful to your audience. The report updates the name in all panel grids, helping you to explain your hard-won experimental insights to your colleagues in a concise and readable way. The original run name remain intact in the project, so doing this won’t disrupt your collaborators.
  • When you expand a panel in the workspace, it now opens in full screen mode with more space. In this view, line plots now render with more granular detail, using up 10,000 bins. The run selector appear next to the panel, letting you easily toggle, group, or filter runs in context.
  • From any panel, you can now copy a unique URL that links directly to that panel’s full screen view. This makes it even easier to share a link to dig into interesting or pathological patterns in your plots.
  • Run Comparer is a powerful tool you can use to compare the configurations and key metrics of important runs alongside their loss curves. Run Comparer has been updated:
    • Faster to add a Run Comparer panel, as an expanded option in Add Panels.
    • By default, a Run Comparer panel takes up more space, so you can see the values right away.
    • Improved readability and legibility of a Run Comparer panel. You can use new controls to quickly change row and column sizes so you can read long or nested values.
    • You can copy any value in the panel to your clipboard with a single click.
    • You can search keys with regular expressions to quickly find exactly the subset of metrics you want to compare across. Your search history is saved to help you iterate efficiently between views.
    • Run Comparer is now more reliable at scale, and handles larger workspaces more efficiently, reducing the likelihood of poor performance or a crashed panel.
  • Segmentation mask controls have been updated:
    • You can now toggle each mask type on or off in bulk, or toggle all masks or all images on or off.
    • You can now change each class’s assigned color, helping to avoid confusion if multiple classes use the same color.
  • When you open a media panel in full screen mode, you can now use the left or right arrows on your keyboard to step through the images, without first clicking on the step slider.
  • Media panels now color run names, matching the run selector. This makes it easier to associate a run’s media values with related metrics and plots.
  • In the run selector, you can now filter by whether a run has certain media key or not.
  • You can now move runs between groups in the W&B App UI, and you can create new groups after the run is logged.
  • Automations can now be edited in the UI
  • An automation can now notify a Slack channel for artifact events. When creating an automation, select “Slack notification” for the Action type.
  • Registry now supports global search by default, allowing you to search across all registries by registry name, collection name, alias, or tag.
  • In Tables and Query panels that use the runs expression, you can use the new Runs History step slider and drop-down controls to view a table of metrics at each step of a run.
  • Playground in Weave supports new models: OpenAI’s gpt-4.5-preview and Deepseek’s deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner.
  • Weave tracing has two new agent framework integrations: CrewAI and OpenAI’s Agent SDK.
  • In the Weave UI, you can now build Datasets from traces. Learn more: https://weave-docs.wandb.ai/guides/core-types/datasets#create-edit-and-delete-a-dataset-in-the-ui
  • The Weave Python SDK now provides a way to filter the inputs and outputs of your Weave data to ensure sensitive data does not leave your network perimeter. You can configure to redact sensitive data. Learn more: https://weave-docs.wandb.ai/guides/tracking/redact-pii/
  • To streamline your experience, the System tab in the individual run workspace view will be removed in an upcoming release. View full information about system metrics in the System section of the workspace. For questions, contact support@wandb.com.

Security

  • golang crypto has been upgraded to v0.36.0.
  • golang oauth2 has been upgraded to v0.28.0.
  • In Weave, pyarrow is now pinned to v17.0.0.

Performance

  • Frontend updates significantly reduce workspace reload times by storing essential data in the browser cache across visits. The update optimizes loading of saved views, metric names, the run selector, run counts, W&B’s configuration details, and the recomputation of workspace views.
  • Registry overview pages now load significantly faster.
  • Improved the performance of selecting metrics for the X, Y, or Z values in a scatter plot in a workspace with thousands of runs or hundreds of metrics.
  • Performance improvements to Weave evaluation logging.

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug in Reports where following a link to a section in the report would not open to that section.
  • Improved the behavior of how Gaussian smoothing handles index reflection, matching SciPy’s default “reflect” mode.
  • A Report comment link sent via email now opens directly to the comment.
  • Fixed a bug that could crash a workspace if a sweep takes longer than 2 billion compute seconds by changing the variable type for sweep compute seconds to int64 rather than int32.
  • Fixed display bugs that could occur when a report included multiple run sets.
  • Fixed a bug where panels Quick Added to an alphabetically sorted section were sorted incorrectly.
  • Fixed a bug that generated malformed user invitation links.

3 - 0.66.0

March 06, 2025

Features

  • In tables and query panels, columns you derive from other columns now persist, so you can use them for filtering or in query panel plots.

Security

  • Limited the maximum depth for a GraphQL document to 20.
  • Upgraded pyarrow to v17.0.0.

4 - 0.65.0

January 30, 2025

Image showing the Weave UI

The release includes the following additional updates:

  • W&B Models now seamlessly integrates with Azure public cloud. You could now create a Dedicated Cloud instance in an Azure region directly from your Azure subscription and manage it as an Azure ISV resource. This integration is in private preview.
  • Enable automations at the Registry level to monitor changes and events across all collections in the registry and trigger actions accordingly. This eliminates the need to configure separate webhooks and automations for individual collections.
  • Ability to assign x_label, e.g. node-0, in run settings object to distinguish logs and metrics by label, e.g. node, in distributed runs. Enables grouping system metrics and console logs by label for visualization in the workspace.
  • Coming soon with a patch release this week, you will be able to use organization-level service accounts to automate your W&B workloads across all teams in your instance. You would still be able to use existing team-level service accounts if you would like more control over the access scope of a service account.
    • Allow org-level service accounts to interact with Registry. Such service accounts can be invited to a registry using the invite modal and are displayed in the members table along with respective organization roles.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where users creating custom roles including the Create Artifact permission were not able to log artifacts to a project.
  • Fixed the issue with metadata logging for files in instances that have subpath support configured for BYOB.
  • Block webhook deletion if used by organization registry automations.

7 - Archived releases

For historical purposes, this page archives release notes for releases that have reached end of life and are no longer supported. A major release and its patches are supported for six months from the initial release date.

7.1 - 0.61.0

October 17, 2024

Features

This is a mini-feature and patch release, delivered at a different schedule than the monthly W&B server major releases

  • Organization admins can now configure Models seats and access control for both Models & Weave in a seamless manner from their organization dashboard. This change allows for a efficient user management when Weave is enabled for a Dedicated Cloud or Self-managed instance.
    • Weave pricing is consumption-based rather than based on number of seats used. Seat management only applies to the Models product.
  • You can now configure access roles at the project level for team and restricted scoped projects. It allows assigning different access roles to a user within different projects in the same team, and thus adding another strong control to conform to enterprise governance needs.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where underlying database schema changes as part of release upgrades could timeout during platform startup time.
  • Added more performance improvements to the underlying parquet store service, to further improve the chart loading times for users. Parquet store service is only available on Dedicated Cloud, and Self-managed instances based on W&B kubernetes operator.
  • Addressed the high CPU utilization issue for the underlying parquet store service, to make the efficient chart loading more reliable for users. Parquet store service is only available on Dedicated Cloud, and Self-managed instances based on W&B kubernetes operator.

7.2 - 0.60.0

September 26, 2024

Features

  • Final updates for 1.1.1 Compliance of Level AA 2.2 for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) standards.
  • W&B can now disable auto-version-upgrade for customer-managed instances using the W&B kubernetes operator. You can request this to your W&B team.
    • Note that W&B requires all instances to upgrade periodically to comply with the 6-month end-of-life period for each version. W&B does not support versions older than 6 months.

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug to allow instance admins on Dedicated Cloud and Customer-managed instances to access workspaces in personal entities.
  • SCIM Groups and Users GET endpoints now filter out service accounts from the responses. Only non service account users are now returned by those endpoints.
  • Fixed a user management bug by removing the ability of team admins to simultaneously delete a user from the overall instance while deleting them from a team. Instance or Org admins are responsible to delete a user from the overall instance / organization.

Performance improvements

  • Reduced the latency when adding a panel by up to 90% in workspaces with many metrics.
  • Improved the reliability and performance of parquet exports to blob storage when runs are resumed often.
    • Runs export to blob storage in parquet format is available on Dedicated Cloud and on Customer-managed instances that are enabled using the W&B kubernetes operator.

7.3 - 0.58.1

September 04, 2024

Features

  • W&B now supports sub-path for Secure storage connector i.e. Bring your own bucket capability. You can now provide a sub-path when configuring a bucket at the instance or team level. This is only available for new bucket configurations and not for existing configured buckets.
  • W&B-managed storage on newer Dedicated Cloud instances in GCP & Azure will by default be encrypted with W&B managed cloud-native keys. This is already available on AWS instances. Each instance storage is encrypted with a key unique to the instance. Until now, all instances on GCP & Azure relied on default cloud provider-managed encryption keys.
  • Makes the fields in the run config and summary copyable on click.
  • If you’re using W&B kubernetes operator for a customer-managed instance, you can now optionally use a custom CA for the controller manager.
  • We’ve modified the W&B kubernetes operator to run in a non-root context by default, aligning with OpenShift’s Security Context Constraints (SCCs). This change ensures smoother deployment of customer-managed instances on OpenShift by adhering to its security policies.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where exporting panels from a workspace to a report now correctly respects the panel search regex.
  • Fixed an issue where setting GORILLA_DISABLE_PERSONAL_ENTITY to true was not disabling users from creating projects and writing to existing projects in their personal entities.

Performance improvements

  • We have significantly improved performance and stability for experiments with 100k+ logged points. If you’ve a customer-managed instance, this is available if the deployment is managed using the W&B kubernetes operator.
  • Fixed issue where saving changes in large workspaces would be very slow or fail.
  • Improved latency of opening workspace sections in large workspaces.

7.4 - 0.57.2

July 24, 2024

Features

You can now use JWTs (JSON Web Tokens) to access your W&B instance from the wandb SDK or CLI, using the identity federation capability. The feature is in preview. Refer to Identity federation and reach out to your W&B team for any questions.

Refer to Private connectivity and reach out to your W&B team for any questions.
  • Team-level service accounts are now shown separately in a new tab in the team settings view. The service accounts are not listed in the Members tab anymore. Also, the API key is now hidden and can only be copied by team admins.
  • Dedicated Cloud is now available in GCP’s Seoul region.

Fixes

  • Gaussian smoothing was extremely aggressive on many plots.
  • Fixed issue where pressing the Ignore Outliers in Chart Scaling button currently has no effect in the UI workspace.
  • Disallow inviting deactivated users to an organization.
  • Fixed an issue where users added to an instance using SCIM API could not onbioard successfully.

Learn more in our documentation.

The 0.56.0 release also includes these capabilities:

Fixes

  • The fix resolves an issue where deleting a search term from a runset in a report could delete the panel or cause the report to crash by ensuring proper handling of selected text during copy/paste operations.
  • The fix addresses a problem with indenting bulleted items in reports, which was caused by an upgrade of slate and an additional check in the normalization process for elements.
  • The fix resolves an issue where text could not be selected from a panel when the report was in edit mode.
  • The fix addresses an issue where copy-pasting an entire panel grid in a Report using command-c was broken.
  • The fix resolves an issue where report sharing with a magic link was broken when a team had the Hide this team from all non-members setting enabled.
  • The fix introduces proper handling for restricted projects by allowing only explicitly invited users to access them, and implementing permissions based on project members and team roles.
  • The fix allows instance admins to write to their own named workspaces, read other personal and shared workspaces, and write to shared views in private and public projects.
  • The fix resolves an issue where the report would crash when trying to edit filters due to an out-of-bounds filter index caused by skipping non-individual filters while keeping the index count incremental.
  • The fix addresses an issue where unselecting a runset caused media panels to crash in a report by ensuring only runs in enabled runsets are returned.
  • The fix resolves an issue where the parameter importance panel crashes on initial load due to a violation of hooks error caused by a change in the order of hooks.
  • The fix prevents chart data from being reloaded when scrolling down and then back up in small workspaces, enhancing performance and eliminating the feeling of slowness.

Metric visualization enhancements

Image showing metric visualization enhancements

We’re continuing to enhance our core metric visualization experience. You can now define which metrics from regular expressions to render in your plots, up to 100 metrics at once. And to more accurately represent data at high scale, we’ve add a new time-weighted exponential moving average smoothing algorithm for plots (check out all of our supported algorithms).

Feedback surveys

W&B has always built our product based on customer feedback. Now, we’re happy to introduce a new way for you to shape the future of W&B: in-app feedback surveys in your Dedicated Cloud or Customer-Managed W&B install. Starting July 17th, W&B users will start periodically seeing simple 1 - 10 Net Promoter Score surveys in the application. All identifying information is anonymized. We appreciate all your feedback and look forward to making W&B even better, together.

  • Major improvement to artifact download speed: over a 6x speedup on our 1-million-file artifact benchmark. Please upgrade to SDK version 0.15.5+.
  • (Launch) Optuna is now available as a sweeps scheduler with Sweeps on Launch, allowing more efficient exploration of hyperparameters.
  • Run data permadeletion is now available (default off). This can be enabled with the GORILLA_DATA_RETENTION_PERIOD environment variable, specified in hours. Please take care before updating this variable and/or chat with W&B Support, since the deletion is permanent. Artifacts will not be deleted by this setting.
  • Updated report sharing emails to include a preview.

Model registry admin role

Image showing Model registry admin role

Control your model promotion process with a new role for model registry admins. These users can manage the list of protected aliases (for example, “challenger” or “prod”), as well as apply or remove protected aliases for model versions.

Viewer role

You can now share your W&B findings with a broader audience with the introduction of a Viewer role for W&B Server. Users with this role can view anything their team(s) make, but not create, edit, or delete anything. These seats are measured separately from traditional W&B Server seats, so reach out your W&B account team to request an updated license.

Team admins can now disable magic link sharing for a team and its members. Disable public sharing on the team setting allows you increase team privacy controls. Meanwhile, it’s now easier for users who receive a report link to access the report in W&B after signing up.

Improved report composition

Image showing improved report composotion

Reports help share your findings W&B further throughout an organization, including with people outside the ML team. We’ve made several investments to ensure it’s as simple and frictionless as possible to create and share them—including an improved report drafting experience with enhanced draft publication, editing, management, and sharing UX to improve how teams collaborate with Reports.

Updated navigation

As W&B has expanded the parts of the ML workflow we cover, we’ve heard your feedback that it can be hard to move around the application. So we’ve updated the navigation sidebar to include clearer labels on the product area, and added backlinks to certain detail screens. We’ve also renamed “Triggers” to “Automations” to better reflect the power of the feature.
