Note

Because Delta Live Tables channel releases follow a rolling upgrade process, channel upgrades are deployed to different regions at different times.

To find the Databricks Runtime version for a pipeline, see Runtime information.

New features and improvements in this release

  • This release includes a change that improves the performance of regular and validate-only updates for pipelines with source code defined in Python notebooks. Because this change reduces the time to process each notebook, pipelines with many Python notebooks will see larger performance improvements.

  • The Catalog Explorer UI is updated to show additional details for materialized views and streaming tables. You can now view the current refresh status of a materialized view or streaming table and a user-friendly display of the refresh schedule when a schedule is defined on the object. To learn about using Catalog Explorer to view materialized view and streaming table details, see What is Catalog Explorer?.

Bug fixes in this release

  • This release fixes a bug that could occur when a CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW or CREATE STREAMING_TABLE statement failed. This bug caused the creation of unnecessary compute resources that performed duplicate work.
